How much did a DeLorean originally cost and how much do they cost now?
The introductory price of the DeLorean was $25,000. Initial response was quite good and many DeLoreans sold for over list price. However, as inventory began to build up in 1982 (and after Consolidated bought the remaining DMC inventory in 1983), the price plummeted to around $15,000. Today, the average price for a ‘fair’ car is proabably around $17,500. Of course, expect to dump more money and plenty of labor into the car to bring it up to ‘excellent’ condition. A ‘good’ car will run $20k and a ‘nice’ car will fetch $25k-$30k and up. And if doing the restoration work yourself doesn’t fancy you, several of the DeLorean shops sell completely refurbished models.
