Looks a lovely car. But the old adage is 'a painted car is worth about 30% less than a regular one".
Depends if you like Red painted cars? I do, but not necessarily on a DeLoreans.
I would agree. That seems to be the consensus within the community but for some reason even painted cars are asking a premium pricetag now.
Question is, is there any panel damage thats being hidden? Or is it a case of the PO having more money than sense?
And does that car phone work?
Who can tell...?....that is the biggest fear...but even if there was no panel damage, removing the paint and re-brushing the stainless is a mammoth task in its-self.
Personally I recon $25k is nearer the mark.
Got to say that looks like about the nicest painted version I've ever seen.
My main worry would be the missing air cleaner.....could have let damp and muck in. (that assuming its a non-runner) But solid enough.
Thats easily a non runner. I would be very surprised if it ran
Its nice to see one thats had some upgrades like the fuel lines.
This makes me sad.
He is, or was, a local (original) owner to me, in his 70s, had the car for years. Didn't even know he was selling, or how it ended up at BHCC
Another reasonable looking car at $29,950:

Certainly makes you wonder how they get so many to sell. I wonder if they just get people making enquiries and they go around to look/value and wave dollar bills at people to get a quick/cheap sale?

probably read the small adds in local papers / online.
