Basically DMC was "trying" to sell the Deloreans for twice the price 
tag of a Corvette of the same year.Corvettes in 1981 were selling for 
appox $16,000 so DMC was sticker pricing at $32,000(at least that was 
what was on the window sticker of the very first delorean I looked at 
in a Dealer show room in 1981)so at todays rate, if there was a 2003 
Delorean,that would mean that a New Delorean would sell for $80,000-
$100,K's.
So D-1's Remanufactured Deloreans would be a bit steep even in todays 
standard.Remanufactured items should NEVER exceed 50% of NEW.DMC of 
Texas is MORE in line for what a Remanufactured Delorean should/would 
sell for.Expecially since the Delorean has no important History 
behind it(Street or track racing or Legendary figures/time eras ect. 
behind it)Yes I know JZD,Lotus,and Ital-Design,BUT all the negative 
things/problems knocked it out of wack,The gullwing doors is Not what 
makes the car special,as the Bricklin has those,THE thing that makes 
it special is THE STAINLESS STEEL SKIN,and the "cult" like following 
that it has.And sites like this and OTHERS that are deciated to the 
Delorean.If you take one of these items away,it would become just 
another used old car.
