Schottenstein's didn't get their hands on the Deloreans until the mid 1980s and the asking price was over 15,000 dollars. Delorean tried to save the company ... even got hooked on a drug deal set up by the FBI. He beat the charges.
It took them several years to get rid of the cars, but I was told that Schottensteins had $8,000 in them and they made money on every one they sold.
If the price had fallen to $8,000 I would have bought one. The price never fell.
If you had bought one, one would assume that you had a screw loose. The Delorean is a POS. Not worth 16K, not worth 8K, not worth 3K.
Unless it has a flux capacitor...

I am going to have to do some web searching on this. I knew a guy who bought three from Consolidated International. Could have sworn that his price was $3,000 per car, plus the tax bill.
