    DeLorean (duh)

    Looking for a low mileage (<25k) DeLorean. Manual Transmission a must. Ideally excellent condition, major recalls done, tasteful mods ok, engine upgrades welcome.

    I usually love a project car but quite honestly I have two other projects going on (88’ Starion, 81’ FJ40) and I have my hands full with 80’s parts all over the place. I just sold my other toy so I have money burning a hole in my pocket and one empty spot for one of my 80’s dream card and I want it to be a DeLorean.

    Cash in hand, no BS, willing to get it shipped if necessary but I am hoping someone close enough wants to sell so I could drive it home, now that would be an awesome day!

    Thank you

    Thought it said my location in my signature, I screwed that up. New England area preferred but willing to widen range for the right car of course. Thanks again.

    bump, nothing? thank you for the people that reached out, and for those that offered me $60k deloreans, I might be a DMC newbie, but long time car collector, not a trust fund donkey. If anyone wants to sell a low-mile, black interior, 5-speed in the $40k range, let me know. As an Amphicar owner also, whose community also suffers from the same “One sold in Norway for $60k” syndrome, semi-rare cars are not worth what you want them to be, they are worth what people will pay so if you like having your car listed for $59,500, that is your opinion, not anything real. You know who you are and I mean no offense, just a free life lesson for ya.

    P.S. If you have had your car listed for 22 months without a sale, ummm... are you really trying to sell it or just like the attention. The market might catch up someday, but that day is not today.

    Good luck with your continued search.

    As an Amphicar owner, perhaps you have heard of Disney Springs' new(ish) Boathouse restaurant with Amphicar rides around the lake. It is really cool. I was there shortly after it opened and was talking to the manager of the ride portion and he said that restoring multiple cars to the level of public service was time consuming and costly.

    Thank you for the recommendation Josh. We do indeed have an exceptional car on consignment near that price range. It is a two owner (retail) early '82 5spd with currently 22,320 miles. We're asking 48K but the seller is motovated so there is some flexibility. We performed our first service on this car in 1983 at 3,209 miles and other services in '85 and '88. In February 1991 we purchased the car from the original local owner with 8,720 miles and I used it as a company car until April '93 when I sold it to the current owner at 13,476 miles.
    It has been kept in one of his heated garages since then but has only accumulated an addtional appx 11k miles in that time since he is a car collector with at least thirty other cars to tend to. We have just completed a $9000- major servicing to address all major systems and maintenance to make it ready for daily driver duty if needed. The interior and body all in excellent condition and only the undercarriage needs some refinishing work to make it almost perfect. I have a file with all documentation that will be supplied to the buyer. If interested I can supply pics and copies of documentation. I have literally driven this car to Boston before and it is certainly up for the trip again if you are interested.

    I recommend that you consider this car that Rob has. From my experience, he is extremely good to work with and will answer any and all of your questions on it.
