pbsmith69 Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 I have a 1997 1.6K series, 6 speed with wide-track, 13†yoko 21R’s, leather seats, and all the usual extras. I have recently converted the car using a second hand low mileage 1.8 VVC engine (anti cav oil tank also fitted). My circumstances have now changed and I need to sell the car. I will be selling the old complete 8000-mile 1600cc engine with the car so the new owner can swap back to standard spec if they want. Pricing seems to me to be all over the place with people asking daft money for car so have no idea what its really worth, I don’t want to ring the factory or any dealers as I will only get the usual “it’s a bad time to sell so I can only give you “ sob story. So some sensible advice on pricing from anyone out there would be much appreciated. Also do you think it would be worth the same money if I swapped it back to the standard 1.6k (so I could sell the vvc separately.) (Notice how I said sensible, Messrs Kent and Plunket) Thanks for your help Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R500 CYA Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 Caterham offered me 13k GBP for my 98 1.6K SS on a 23K SLR I reckon mine should be worth 15K privately therefore and sell for about 17k in the Caterham dealership. Yours would proabably be similar. I suggest you replace the original engine, then sell the VVC to me. Your car will be easier to sell and I want your block!
