From what I've seen lately, people are finally asking more for good quality D's and it's trending. If more D owners in the community start placing a higher value on their cars on a larger scale, the trend will increase proportionally.

Still shy of the reserve but there is a day left to go...

1988 BMW 325is
1982 DeLorean DMC-12
1989 Jaguar XJ6
That car always gets big numbers but they have not made the reserve in previous auctions. Just goes to show you how a well executed description paired with nice pictures brings big numbers on a ebay Delorean. Having a nice low mileage car to start with doesn't hurt either.
Just FYI this car was sold for $65,000 after 12 months on the market.

I have noticed it's always the people who can't afford to fill the tank on a DeLorean that think they are in a position to put a dollar figure on one. It's nice to see values going up even if that flys in the face of well known and self proclaimed "expert" non owners.
The people with the money are the only ones that get to put a dollar figure on a car's worth, as it should be.

Collectors tend to value a 1 owner, low mileage, "unmolested" original car a whole lot more than one in better runable condition. We all know what it will take to get a car like this into reliable condition for actual use. That is not necessarily what high end collectors do though. They can afford to buy a car to look at and not actually drive them. Most of the owners here on this forum want a Delorean to actually use it. Before you get all excited about the price, this kind of car is very limited, 99.99% of the Deloreans in this world cannot say they are 1 owner, with almost no mileage in great cosmetic shape. High end collectors buy cars like art. To ooh and aah over and show off to their friends. Like the gold Deloreans. They aren't for driving, they are for show. That is a whole other category than what most of us have. That explains the unusual pricetag.
