Claude - There isn't a new car being made today that you can't make the same statement about. If you were to go up to the parts counter at any Ford dealership and order all of the parts you need to build a brand new Ford Focus, you will spend about 3 times the price of the car fully assembled. Plus you have to paint them and put them together. There are enough reproduction parts you could assemble an early Mustang or Camaro from completely new parts, for about $35,000. There aren't many early Mustangs or Camaros selling for that kind of money without verifiable history - and they rust! DeLorean parts pricing is very fair and is obviously what the market will bear. You are always better off buying a fully restored car than having one restored or restoring it yourself. There are Very Few exceptions to this statement.
