BTW, only 8,583 DeLoreans were manufactured in 1981, 1982, and 1983: 6,539, 1,126, and 918, respectively. Of those, about 6,000 are believed to be in circulation - a few hundred of them outside the United States. Many have been squirreled away in garages by those interested in the cars' future value; its scarcity makes the DeLorean appealing to those who invest in exotic cars.
And because poor quality and parts availability problems founded fear in owners, its not on road or in use much. Which is infact wrong as service facilty and parts are still available. DeLorean created a vehicle whose components are still available today. In part, he accomplished it by using components that remain industry standards and are built by several automotive parts companies
