$15,000 will provide you with a good driver's DeLorean. The very good and excellent road cars are priced 13-17k. If you are looking for a car in collector's condition or even concours, you will probably have to go 17-25k. There is a standardized scale of rating car quality. It uses numbers 1 though 6 to describe increasing car value. A one is a parts car. A 6 is a concours car. I would rate my DeLorean at a 4 or 5, and I paid 14,000. This means that the vehicle is decent enough to win an occasional prize in a show, but lacks those little things that prevent it from the 100-point mark. Good luck hunting and never give up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address to moderator@xxxx
