Locost For Sale - What's it worth?
Selling my Locost as young one now needs a car and I need the space and the cash. Also I have too many other hobbes and as a result have only done
around 1500 miles in three years. I love it but it has to go.
I'm not really expecting anyone here to buy it as chances are you like me have already got one, just asking for feedback on what it's
worth.
It's pretty much book built with a 2.0 Pinto ported and tuned to about 130BHP, Megajolt, lightened & dowelled fllywheel, ARP bolts, twin
Dellorto 40's (note below is an old picture with the 1.6 engine for SVA), chopped sump and an RL21 cam. More go than show as there a few rough
edges but it's still a great drive, good soundtrack (1/2 a V8 as my Big Bro says).
Just passed it's MOT and now has wipers and washers not shown in the picture. I also have a few spares like a Type 9 box, Mk2 Steering Rack and
£100 of spray paint for the bonnet that I have not got around to.
I'm thinking £3,500. What do peeps think?
Also where should I advertise. Currently thinking Petrolheads, Ebay and Autotrader.

I used to be apathetic but now I just don't care.
Is this a TRADE ADVERTISEMENT?? Click HERE to report it!

Give it (or sell it) to your young one?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I'm in the market for one, infact getting onw in the morning so as a buyer I would say forget wasting £20 on the autotrader I looked on there
today and finding anything like what your are selling/i'm buying was a nightmare.
Ebay and Piston heads are your best bet and as many other car forums as you are on, you never know who else will see it and tell a friend etc

Yeh don't bother with autotrader, waste of money.
Try all your free options first, pistonheads being the best.
Also any forums you go on, just copy and paste the ad and put a link on to pistonheads, suprising how well that can work.
If all else fails try ebay, but be prepared for some morons to try and mess you around...! And its not cheap.
Good luck with the sale.

Ebay is cheap, £8 to list a car and the audience is one of the biggest but its negatives are wasters etc

Is that what it costs for a classified ad then, regardless of asking price..? I don't know, never used one yet..
I was referring to an auction, but hey, still alot of time wasters...

A hell of a lot of waters buit thats because its a bigger audience, it's still in proportion.
No £8 is the cost for an auction, then when and if it sells to someone at that kind of vaue you will pay them an addition £20 final value fee but
again that's only if it sells.
