    I believe this is a consignment. It is at "large, well known seller of custom/classic/muscle/other rare cars". The dealer has got make a couple of bucks!😏.

    That is likely a too high of price for that car, but something has always struck me as odd about the Delorean community. They are the only car community I have ever seen that is averse to the value of their cars increasing. Any time someone prices a car even slightly above the going rate (and sometimes at or below the going rate) for a Delorean, the owners on this forum balk about it and say they are asking too much for the car. I say, if someone wants to start selling Deloreans for $70k, let them (if there is a buyer). Then maybe it will start making our $25k Deloreans worth $50k! The value can't increase if we're all beating the value back down. The "$25k rule" seems to go back at least 10 years, maybe more in this community. Perhaps we need to at least make it the "$26k Rule" or at least the "$25.5k Rule", and then in a few years make it the "$27k Rule".

    Thank you! I totally agree. I bought the car because I like it, but having the value increase isn't exactly a bad thing.
