Mike, 

you are exactly right. this is the best time to buy a DeLorean because:

1. prices are low
2. many are available in all conditions
3. original owners are frustrated that the car hasn't significantly 
appreciated in value, or are tired of the upkeep - they would rather just get 
rid of a car sitting in a garage for years.

the advantage to those of us who are owners are that EVENTUALLY all of the 
ratty, unkempt cars will be sold to younger buyers (or older guys who just 
want something to toy with) who really WANT to own, drive, and restore a 
DeLorean. and these are the guys who will never give up their car for 
anything because they had dreamed of the big DMC logo for years. at the 
point that most cars are in restored condition, that is when our cars will 
gain value. right now there are just too many poor condition DeLoreans to be 
sold.

just my take on the whole thing. i bought it because i loved the car - not 
for an investment. if it appreciates some day, great. but at least i have 
my dream car.
