Wow up to £560 with 10hrs left. These are as rare as the proverbial rocking horse poo. I paid £50 for one of these 5 years ago for my old Lux so values seem to have shot up a bit. An uncracked dash certainly adds value to your car at sale time.

Now £620. There is a very small crack at the corner of one of the air vents that will need to be sorted to stop it spreading. I bet the seller never expected this.
 
Only 2 bidders - I can't really believe this auction

I think I paid £100 (may have been less) for one that was completely crack free, back in 2004.


 
I said many years ago that it'd be a good idea to snap up all the oval dashes from breaking cars, along with door cards, roof trim panels, boot carpets etc. Store them all in a temp/humidity-controlled environment, and wait for the demand to rocket.

Wish I'd done it now! A few years and any of the large interior parts will be hard to find good originals.

What would be the cost to re-cover a square dash in vinyl? Can't be £500 can it?
 
Werk924 can recover dashes to OEM spec. Even posting to and from Germany is half the price of that eBay sale. Whilst £450 seems expensive for a freshly refurbed dash. It seems a bargain compared to that sale.

If that dash was bought for a 924 Carrera GT that's now valued circa £35-45k+ then £970 for a good dash compared to a tired cracked could be seen as a good investment. Would be even better if they had done some homework first and found Werk924. I bet even Southbound could do the same?

Dunno about the square-dash cars but here's a video about how to do it on an oval-dash car and the vinyl can't be more than £40 or so:
