I heard from a friend that the DeLorean Motor Company is starting up again and remaking the DMC-12 for $45,000. Is this true? I'd love to have a DeLorean. They are my favorite cars, despite the underpowered 2.8 litre Volvo V6s. I'd probably just upgrade the engine with turbo kits anyway. I have been looking on eBay Motors for an original DeLorean, but I'm a little worried about buying a car I've never even seen, let alone test-driven. So does anyone know about a remake of the DMC-12? I've looked all over the web and couldn't find any information...

No they are not coming back. However, there is a company in Houston, TX that bought the rights to the DMC name and now makes DeLoreans for $45,000 using the parts left over from the original factory and remanufactured parts. The original DMC and the current DMC have no business ties.

Hit that link HearCat just gave you. I clicked it and it is safe. Buy right now and fix what is broke as They did break a lot - like in about every day. They are cheap compared to other cars and that could change with stoo-pid Americans paying up to 4 million dollars for one car.

Sometimes the factory will purchase the vehicles and 'remanufacture' them, and put them up for sale. But I'm not finding any evidence of new production.
