Me and my work colleage was having a discussion the other day. Basically it was about DeLorean values.
When I went with him to the beaulieu international autojumble in september 2000 (6 years ago), some of you may remember a DeLorean for sale there. If my memory serves me right, the asking price was £5500. We was actually selling an X plated Ford Cortina Estate for £2000 which we sold within the first hour may I add. The DeLorean was only there for the Saturday, and was gone on the Sunday, weather it was sold or only entered on the Saturday I don't know.
It was all that time ago I was first interested in getting one, but didn't have the funds then etc. It wasn't until about 15 months ago that I decided I wanted to pursue this ambition. And my first research told me I could probrably own a nice one for about 12k and there were several for sale on our website of that price, and ebay had some on offer too.
Then when this year started, it's like they shot up from 12k to 14k, then 14k to 16k etc. I know that all cars vary, but I'm slowly getting to the point here (And I mean slowly!!!)
What do you members think the minimal value was of the DeLorean and in which year it reached it's minimum before it started to appreciate. We know that most of our car's are worth more now than what they were when they were bought new, but you have to consider inflation.
And when do you think DeLorean prices will peak, and at what price???
This is going to be tricky, maybe we can ask Doc Brown to look for us??? LOL
Thanks in advance for your interest in this topic, I'm kinda hoping they will make a nice retirement plan for all of us some day (Thats if any of us want to part with them!) And take time to have a vote......

I have an area at the top of the louvre panel requiring a slight touch up as it was rubbing against the T-Panel but no longer due to adjustment. I have tried standard black touch up paint, but doesnt take to it very well.
Any tips?

The air conditioning in my car works great. But when i adjust the settings to get some heating on, i only get cold air. Where do i start on this one. Could i have a component missing somewhere along the line?

I have a small ding in my roof T-Panel. I was wondering how to remove this, and perhaps have an attempt at taking that ding out, with some gentle persuasion.
Is this wise, or am i better leaving this well alone?

Hi all,
My drivers side door could use an adjustment to let it close as easily as the passenger side and bring it out slighty at the front so the black trim line meets flush.
Any easy tips on this, i have tried unscrewing and moving the door striker pins but cant get it sitting as good as i want the door to.
Also the bonnet sits a bit high beside the windscreen and above the front fenders. I notice that under the black plastic trim which runs along the inside of the trunk on the passenger side, there is more washers, about 5 or 6 on each bolt. Less on the other side.
What is the best way to get your bonnet sitting flush?
Thanks
