Really nice, but at that price range, who can afford it? And does it really worth that price?...

I'm confused; why is this a $70,000 car?

That's probably not the right premise. You shouldn't be asking why does the seller think it's worth 70k, you should be asking why he thinks there is a 70k buyer out there? Maybe he is not even that serious. The seller may not think it's worth anything, but maybe he thinks he can get what he wants for it by over valuing it. Maybe he doesn't even care one way or the other.

I know where he is coming from, just for the hell of it I recently put a few of my scale models for sale on ebay since I have so many free listings. I over inflated the price a little because quite frankly, I don't need to sell them and I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If I actually needed to sell them then I would re-evaluate my strategy. I just put my motorcycle up on CL for double what I paid for it, why not? It's a free listing and I don't have to talk to anyone I don't want to.

You know the old saying, the best time to look for a better job is when you don't need one. It's pretty much the same logic. Bottom line is whoever or whomever owns RK of Charlotte seems like he/they know how to sell a car or two.

"Beneficiary of a recent $30k freshening"

$30,000 "freshening".

Really ? What does one get for a $30,000 DeLorean freshening?

Aside from being dishonest; it could be someone, like a Delorean restoration shop, faking a listing so that the 35K ones look reasonable. Heck, maybe we should all put 55K listings up for junkier D's so that people start to think they are stealing our cars by talking us down to 40. I'm not just talking static listings, I'm talking making it look like the cars are selling for that much too. Right now the shops are just using their websites to make it look like cars are selling high. If they moved into making misleading listings in the same areas that are used by the general public, it would make valuations difficult after a year or so. Wouldn't you feel odd if you listed your car for 25 in a sea of 50K+ listings?

In the early 90s the market for muscle cars moved in a very rapidly upward way. Who would have figured that the AAR Cuda you could have got for 8K would be 35K in 4 years time. All that happened is people saw in magazines and on the newly created Speed TV that cars sold for a high price. Then they go and list their grandma's slant 6 Satellite for 15K calling it a "GTX Tribute".

His car is missing all the protective tin on the bottom of the car. The tin serves two purposes, one is protection and two, it directs air to the engine compartment. VW Beetle owners know what I am talking about. So, technically, this car is not complete....for that price, it should be a perfect car... And even then, DAMN and NO WAY come to mind.
