I contemplated a Delorean in 2009 figuring they were right at that age where they are viewed as crappy old cars, just before people started valuing them again. I think I could get a pretty clean example for around $15k at the time. Looking now it seems they are going for $40k.

They didn't make many, and there aren't new stainless steel bodies being manufactured, so they are just going to become more rare, especially the pristine ones.
That's what I thought but back in 1987(?) When he first went bankrupt and they were going for 15k. Didn't pan out because demand never increased and supply was larger than demand. Still is, you can theoretically buy a Zero time assembly from the parts guy that has a warehouse full.
