Hahah no joke!!

[Thebusofwoe]

just having one of my rants .

[bennyboy]

The polish do seem to like ludes. I know a fair few in town and they/their friends and rels quite often stop to look or ask me about mine.
With that in mind and the price it went for, hopefully it'll be cherished again

[Ted]

Nah still think its a breaker

[wurlycorner]

Jj's absolutely right.
It's purely the fact it's being exported (anywhere - actual country is completely immaterial) to be broken that annoys me.
If it's not going to be restored to running, I'd have preferred it to be broken in this country, just so that our community can enjoy the bits (without the damage risk and cost of international shipment).

Everyone had the same fair shot at it though, as jj suggests.

Same here. I bet that engine is gunked to the max.

[cebul]

I can sure you, that car will be broken for parts ...

[bennyboy]

Hey, I'm not bothered!
Was just expressing an opinion

[Escy]

I was waiting for it to go before posting this but it seems it pretty much has. It definitely a breaker in my opinion, would be even if it was running, taxed and tested.

I'm not in the Prelude scene, I was shocked to see you guys to be saying there isn't much profit in it due to the selling price. Generally valuing it at around £1500. The figures I put together had it breaking for around 5k.

Here's my figures, I'm assuming that i'd get it running, free up the brakes and take it around the block to make sure it's all good. I can't see why it wouldn't be (providing it was running ok when laid up), it's not like it's been sat in a field or something.

I copied the advert and priced up the parts listed. Some prices will depend on condition, i've put two prices next to some things, best and worst case. If there is no price next to something i've either included it in with something else (like the Tein EDFC is included in the coilover prices) or I think the value is minimal. I've not included any standard parts (driveshafts, etc) or standard body panels. I'm sure a few extra things would sell.

Lots of values are hard to work out, I couldn't find another titanium exhaust or Mugen bumper for example. What do you guys think of the prices I put? Realistic or not?

[Merlin]

What do you guys think of the prices I put? Realistic or not?

Most are, some arnt. But it all depends on what the buyer is prepared to pay.

I'm assuming that i'd get it running, free up the brakes and take it around the block to make sure it's all good. I can't see why it wouldn't be (providing it was running ok when laid up), it's not like it's been sat in a field or something.

The car has sat for years without moving. The oil may have gunged up which will block all of the little oil channels in the engine. The engine may run but for how long
