Whats it worth with a twist...

[Mick288]

"Whats it worth?"

I hate that question as its so easy to look around and see what cars in a similar condition are going for etc

But how about this, a 04 225 LCR that needs a new front bumper and bonnet, has 102K, **** loads of history and drives fantastically? Modded with a remap, wellycooler, BMC intake, N249 removal, 007p, 1 brand spankers brembo caliper, 1 brand spankers rear caliper, new pads all around, fresh engine oil, brake fluid, oil filter, spark plugs, coil packs, set of powerflex top mounts to go with the car...

Drives like a dream but has obvious cosmetic issues.

What could i realistically expect someone to pay? Breaking it would be the best way to make some money but that involves time and space etc.

Apologies for being "that guy"

2k?

 

[Mick288]

See that's ballpark what I was thinking... I'd obviously be happier if it was more, but if it's much less it would be pointless selling after the money I've spent on it!

 

[Ronin225]

Sounds like it had a light front ender, meaning the cooler and rads may actually be damaged.
Budget a good £250 for bumper and about £50 for bonnet

 

[Mick288]

It did have a front ender, by me! It's got a new rad and the intercooler is still spot on! Literally just cosmetics now!

 

[Ronin225]

You'd probably get £2k possibly £2.5k on the right day with the right person
However just the fact its missing parts/damaged can put lots of people off

 

[Mick288]

I suppose the real question is would I get £300 more for £300 in parts...

 

[Ronin225]

just seen you're in northern Ireland too so most wont be able to collect parts and postage will be expensive
Your probably better sourcing a bumper and bonnet and fixing it

 

[Mick288]

Should have said the cars back in England now!
Might put it up and see what I'm offered...

 

[Ronin225]

Unfortunately mate, having killed a few myself I doubt many will offer more than 1.5k being as its mostly standard

 

[Chris4877]

Break it and sell me your welly

 

[Mick288]

Wellys cost nowt mate!

 

[Chris4877]

I know, just being lazy ha
