Valuation / For sale
Hey up,
not realy sure which section to put this into, but here goes....
can any body give me a clue as to what price i should advertise my locost at.....?
its a MK escort chassis, live axle. gaz shocks etc. 1360cc fast road xflow with twin 40`s onto standard 4speed box with quick shift. Goes very well
indeed, 70 bhp at the wheels at 6000rpm, reves to 6500 so prop a little more than 70 i reckon... mayb 71bhp! sounds awson on full flow!!
body is a mix of GRP and alu, seats vinyl buckets with harnesses, full complement of ETB dials.
OZ superturismo alloys 15`` with toyo proxies. everything except the diff and gear box has been fully reconditioned
it is a good build quality, SVA insopectors comments `first class build` redgistered late may 04, done 2000 miles. sertainly turns heads!
i dont want to part with her cos it took me 3yrs to build but needs must for space for the next project...!!
any ideas of price would be good.... and any offers even better!!!
cheers
bob

Nice looking Car Mate !
Top spec Locosts change hands between £4500 and £5000 The only things going against your car are the small engine( although a young buyer might see
this as an advantage) and the lack of a"named" seat package - most people like a sports seat. Might be worth investing in some fibreglass
ones, maybe MK to pep up the interior.
As it stands I'd advertise it at £4500 and not except less than £3800.
in my humble opinion
Cheers
Chris
And BTW I'd keep it!
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

hey up guys,
cheers for the comments it makes it all worth while!!
as for the seats well they are been sortes as we speak.... have made GRP buckets and they are been covered so that will sort the inside out....
as for the value, i have to agree with you but was hopeing £5.5k to break even on the costs...
so the winter project is a big motor!!!!
cheers for the advice guys..
