Pricing help required - Newbie :)

[stuntman]

Hello everyone,

Well in my haste I've bought 2 series 3's. Both without MOT and needing some work, I'm not wanting to be stupid with the prices hat I will ask for them, but can someone help me put a ball park figure together so I don't look stupid with my pricing. I'm trying to save as many old landies from farms, whilst using the money made to save for my first mortgage :)

1st, a red pick up in reasonable condtion, 2.25 petrol, in bright red (fairly recent paint job), it will have 12 months test, I belive it's a 74, good chassis with new rear half chasis, plus FWH.
Paint condition is quit good, it will recieve a full service a set of all Terrains, new lights and lenses, new shocks and bushes where needed.

2nd, is again a 74, solid chassis, van in blue, with rebuilt low mileage diesel engine and fairly overdrive and FWH, dog gaurd. It is light blue, with faded paintwork and a few dents, I won't be restoring the paint as I like the look of it and it seems to add to the character, again it will have new tyres, shocks, bushes, lights. A full service and a MOT.

Thanks for any responses in advance

Andi

Looking on recent ebay sales, I reckon on a bad day you'd be lucky to get as much as £500, on a good day, if it's exactly what someone wants you may get up to £1000.......

my 2.25 lwb 1975 with 12months mot got up to a grand total of £300 on ebay (didn't make the reserve) when I tried and I've had no sniffs at it's current price of £500 either.

When I bought my swb series 3 I paid £500 for it with 11 months MOT.

Thanks Chris.

I may end up breaking them then sadly

Bizarrely, you will most probably make far more money that way!

[stuntman]

I'm starting to realise that, I really don't want to write off 2 viable cars. I'm going to try my luck and restore both and see what happens :)

unfortunately, unless you have a shiney mint one, then there is more money in breaking them..... :roll: :roll:(what are the door tops like.... :D)

Even if not breaking for sale, definitely sell the overdrive separate for max profit.

[stuntman]

Yes I believe that will be comming off as I'll be running a 200 tdi and 10 spline disco diffs.

[muddyjames]

if they were tax exempt ones I would have been interested!

Andi, if you decide to get rid of the overdrive, please give me a shout.

[muddyjames]

overdrive was awesome inmy old series landy. It made it possible to hear again!

Andi, if you decide to get rid of the overdrive, please give me a shout.

hell should stick a price for shipping to europe, they will pay £££ sold mine for much money to germany over the top of what they sell here :P shipping price  wasn't that great, 80 quid or something in a small wooden grate (wine  box!). There  was much  interest  and  buyer was happy to pay, but in the end he had a friend on a scouting holiday come pick it up.
