You might have more luck with a detailed posting, talking about the condition you'd like it in, how mechanically inclined you are, etc.
for $10k, you're looking at a project car that probably doesn't run, or runs rough, or has some sort of damage that needs repaired. Just as an FYI.
Call josh at DPI. He is in Ohio.
You've read the thread on cheap deloreans?
Welcome.
I can help with finding an owner looking to sell a cheap car. Unfortunately we no longer offer vehicles requiring work etc. This includes consignment sales as the buyer assumes regardless of condition that we are putting our name behind the vehicle for sale. I fully disclose all cars accurately including problems. Sellers do not understand that the buyers are my future clients.
As of January first 2013 all Deloreans sold at Dpi include fully restored chassis. There is no question of what is done or questionable. Everything is taken care of including:
Restored frame galvanized and powder coated
Every stainless component we produce (brake/fuel lines etc)
Full fuel system
Upgraded trans cooler (auto only)
Complete brake system over haul
All new suspension and rubber components Stainless control arms and ball joints etc
Stainless control arms
Complete cooling system (all new components with new radiator and fan upgrade)
Spec 1 exhaust system
Battery cable kit (complete)
12.9 trailing arm bolt kit
Full air conditioning system replaced
Zero mile full dpi spec engine package (efi or k jet depending on package options)
Refurbished rim and four new tires
And obviously they are very visually pleasing as expected. Our interactive build program will launch with the new site shorty. You can even choose your control arms or select a complete chassis package ranging from enhanced stock to full performance double adjustable coil overs.
The only DeLoreans in the $10,000 range are going to be parts cars, barn finds, wrecks, and DeLoreans needing a complete overhaul to make them even drivable. From what I'm seeing, there's many, many more DeLoreans in the $20,000 to $30,000 range, and those are generally great weekend drivers, even daily drivers.Quote:

DMC Fl has a project Delorean for 10k.
VIN 5992, grey interior, 5 speed.
Frame is rusty though.

Add another zero on the end and we could talk, othewise yes, you're only going to find v6's lol.Quote:

There are also a few other options down here for those that really want a car.
If you want a running / driving one in reasonable shape, for that price you'd probably have to go back in time... but, for that.........
As I have been searching for a DeLorean for at least 2 and a half years, I can tell you there are no DeLoreans in that price range that are not restoration cars. Some may look good, but they are hiding some serious issues. After all that time, I have conceded to the fact that you have to at least start looking in the 18-25K range for anything decent. Most sit in the 20-30K range, as was already mentioned, and you have to expect that the prices will stay around there for at least a bit. Since you are in the US, it will be easier to find cars than here in Canada. All the best on your search.
Tony at DMC Florida has a project car for $10,000. Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but the price is there.
Contacted Tony, thanx Lord.Quote:

Both gray interior
Not sure if either of those are what you're looking for, but if they are, glad I could help :)
working on it :)Quote:

Sounds like this poor Delorean has had a rough life. At that state, it would have to be a giveaway to make it to a decent condition and be a a regular pricing
