Re: Value of Painted DeLoreans

[jtrealty@xxxx]

In general with all things being equal a painted Delorean is worth 1/3 
to 1/2 the value of an unpainted one. The problem is that you cannot 
tell if and how many panels are damaged, the s/s is non-magnetic. So 
you assume they are all bad but maybe not. At the very least to strip 
the paint and regrain is labor (read time) intensive. One of the 
distiguishing features of the Delorean is the finish so without it 
it's value is diminished.
