gelf Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 the MOT runs out in Oct on the disco... and as im building something else at the moment all the nice bits are being taken off and sold seperatly or used on the new build. So what would be a sensible price ask for basicly a 200tdi/Auto with very scabby bodywork? engine has done 149k, gearboxs are fine as are the axles, power steering box will be gone. cant see it being put on the road as a disco again, but may be as a hybrid or just as a donor vehicle.

FridgeFreezer Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 TDi auto = £££ since auto boxes are flavour of the month at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Going rate for a rotten, Mot failed 200Tdi disco is about £500 ish. Even if it is an auto I cant see you getting alot more than this for it. I recently bought, and broke, a cosmetically immaculate 1 owner from new 200Tdi manual for £500.

LandyManLuke Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 JU makes a good point, at the moment you'll probably get more for the box seperately than the whole vehicle, or close to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 You'll definately get more for it if you break it! I more or less doubled my money on it, and i kept the engine! Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gelf Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 please be honest...... someone came to look at the disco....said it was just what the needed for their defender project.......then burst out laughing when i asked for £500 for the whole vehicle minus my bits. am i asking to much?

Orgasmic Farmer Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 £500 is the going rate for a tdi disco with MOT fail on rust issues. At the very least a buyer can then sell the axles for 150, the motor for 400, the gearboxes for 150 and still weigh in the rest for 100 scrap. Or do the welding themselves and sell it back on for 1200. There is no way you should settle for less IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickm Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 dont sound too bad axles (10spline) are prob about 80 quid each would of fort engine n box's were about 350ish to the right person sell those bits n u should still get 75 quid down the scrappy for the rest of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelf Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 just want to shift it as 1 lump as i aint got the room to break it........ ebay here we come..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I'd say it depends what bits you've taken off!! £500 is is the going rate for a complete motor. If all the nice (saleable) bits have gone then personally i'd walk away and buy a complete one, as realistically someones only going to buy it for the engine, so would be looking to sell the nice bits on to get their money back. Whats missing off of it then? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDRover Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Gelf, I have sent you a PM. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelf Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 whats been taken off.......... well............ big tyres, tree bars, winch bumper and snorkle as these have been sold or used on the new project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OilIT Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 A 1990 H reg 200tdi I got recently for £400 - with a head gasket problem. So on the basis that you still have all the axles, gearbox. engine etc I would have thought £400- £500 was probably about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Turner Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I'll give you £400 for it, it's just the motor i've been looking for to start my next build with........ i'm going to build a Awdc class 1 style 100'' portal'd 4WS tdi auto next and put it on the road!!!
