PRICE FOR XE ESP WITHOUT ORIGINAL MOTOR

[shddw2]

HI I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE OUT THERE COULD TELL ME WHAT YOU WOULD PAY FOR AN XE ESP 6 CYLINDER WITH OUT THE ORIGINAL MOTOR.

[XE302ESP]

depends on a number of things? does it have the original interior, what kind of condition is the body in? color? what your willing to spend, or wait til a matching one comes up for sale.

[shddw2]

the whole car is good condition everything is original except the engine the color is silver with the black strip at the bottom, is has been looked after as i have known the owner has had it for atleast the last ten years.

[Steve Mcqueen]

What happend to the original engine?

[THE GIZ]

providing it is original and immaculate every where else, I'd say between 6 - 8K, is it just a roller? Or does it have another engine and transmission in it?

[shddw2]

as far as i was told it blewup so the got another one and threw it away it had a leg hanging out the side of the block.

[shddw2]

it still runs it belonged to my dads best mate and he died about 3 years ago so his wife has had i parked in a shed covered up ever since.

[Steve Mcqueen]

Yeah what a shame. If its only a 6 its not worth 'thousands of $$$' also now you have the opatunity to throw a healthy v8 in it.

[shddw2]

that was the idea as i have 2 clevos sitting in the shed but still dont realy know what is a good price to pay for it.

mate it would depend on how honest you are as well i know there are those out there that would try to exploit the situation and try and get it for as little as they can so it,s worth what you would feel comfortable in paying for it if it is in as good condition as you say i would suspect anywhere between 4 and 6 grand

[shddw2]

thanks for all the comments guys i have spoken to current owner and she is in no hurry to sell so ill have a good think about it and go from there.

I know of a couple that have sold similar condition with no engine for 4k mark one was plated as v8 which would make it worth more than a 6 cyl car

i agree with Bob respect the lady and respect that it was your dads pasted best friend

if its complete and running/driving car, with motor (Even not matching numbers) with a good interior (No major rips or tears and only 20 odd years of wear marks) and body (Including mouldings, rust, badges & Wheels) are all there i would say 6k -8k.

Its still an ESP and if its that good and only need minor work for rego that would be a fair price. (6K - 8k)

If it need rebuilding and rust work etc then (3k - 5k)

Thats my guess without seeing it. but go with your gut, as said you don't want family friend having a bitter after taste from feeling ripped off as well you don't want the feeling of you getting ripped off.
