In the US, a new DeLorean isn't all that expensive compared to typical "jelly-bean" vehicles that are the most common. Back in 2005, I narrowed down a vehicle purchase decision to a new DeLorean, an used Lotus Elise or a new G coupe. I went with a bone-stock manual G that I kept for a few years before I got into Cold War-era West German and French vehicles. I'm not a rich person, far from it.

the worst part of the 2009 crisis is that the the European used car market is shot

I got a 3 year old gt in 2007 and with that money today I could barely get a panda.

They're still making them?

Sort of. Someone bought the leftover parts from the original factory, and brought back the company name, selling completely refurbished ones. They've been trying to sell completely new ones as a low-volume automaker, but haven't successfully navigated the bureaucracy on that so far.
