Turbo for sale

Didn't you say before the owner kept it serviced? Belts? I don't remember the rust being mentioned before so £6,500 is strong money. It's the best colour though [;)]
 
Unless you want to sell it V. quickly, better to start high, no one is going to offer more than the asking price,

Yep, it's kept serviced. This is, as I understand it, just the essentials for the MOT each year, so oil plus odd bits like wiper blades is it for the last 5 years. Apparently it had the works done at the last belt change in 2001, so hopefully would only need a new set of belts to be a good car.

Seems to be very little demand out there at the moment though. I have had a couple of members with good cars that aren't getting any interest at pretty low prices, so I'm not sure that my Lux will be the solution to my pension defecit that I promised Jane....[8|]


 
Pulled from Pistonheads due to the problems. But still here on retro:

Odd thing is I drove the car to work this morning and it drove nearly spot on.
 
It looks a bargain at £2500 - but people will always be suspicious of a car with a fault like that

One thought.....

Headgasket isn't the end of the world - why drop the price so much when you could get it fixed for £500 or thereabouts? Get a garage to check the coolant for hydrocarbons - will take them 5 mins & will tell you for sure whether the h/g is on its way out.
 
I dropped the price because the car dosent owe me a lot of money and I just dont have time to sort it.

Scotty, I dont have the wheels the car had the cup reps on when I got it.

I think its a bargain, not many left as solid as this one.
 
Homesea - I want to come and look/collect the car this weekend.


I have sent you a e-mail with my number in it.


 
Rav... you beat me - I'd have to get permission to collect another one! That said, I'm really interested in some heavy parts, so if you are chasing your light-weight grail... I may be able to make this even more worthwhile for you (especially as I am in Wiltshire much of the time and know the greasy bits of 944s pretty well:)

Tref.
 
I didnt know I would get so much interest in DHX.

Anyway I am away from tonight so I will let you know when I am back in about 2 weeks.

Tom, Tom B at work said I should wave this under your nose!! (To many Toms').
 
I guess it depends how quickly you want to sell. Many cars priced at the top end have been around for a long time but if someone is willing to spend, only takes one person. Good luck!
 

See that's the big question, is there a set mileage where engines fail? If is had for argument' sake (I don't know if it has btw) new belts, head gasket and a regular service and not been dragged could it run for another 100k miles?


these aren't 911esk where a full rebuild is needed at 80k surely?

ORIGINAL: blade7

Right or not I think it will struggle at 215k and £9k.

I'm obviously out of touch on pricing if this is accurate. Wouldn't this have been about £5k last year? If this 220 bhp car with 215k miles is now £10k, what's a similar condition 250 bhp car with, say 100k miles, worth now?
