 All cars have issues when they are first built. There are bugs to
be worked out of pretty much all cars. However, to say that it was poorly
made, is not fair. Yes there were items, such as the door guides, that
had to be added to fix problems, but all cars have these types of hang
ups. There are many DeLoreans out there with over 200k miles on them, a
few with more than 300k. I know an owner of a car with nearly 340k miles
on his car, and besides regular maintenance it has never had work done to
it. If the car has been maintained properly throughout its life it should
still be in perfect running order. 
Most owners have neglected this at some point, the ones who
bought the cars and put them in garages for 20 years, with out prep work
before hand. The owners who let their cars sit for a few years, then
started them and destroyed their fuel systems. The fact of the matter is
that the DeLorean is still around, and there are a lot of them that have
not undergone huge investments to become reliable, and still are. The
design was innovative, and has proven to hold up against time. DeLoreans
that require a large amount of money to be spent on them have been cared
for improperly at some point or another. Even modern cars have similar
problems is neglected for any extended period of time.
