cost consideration when
When buying a non runner / doa upper you need to give extra consideration to the costs for doing it up.
I got a car with a duff clutch and I think budgeted on either a clutch salve or clutch master. Well slave and master changed as well as clutch but in doing this job, drop links, lower arm bushes and now strut bearings have all needed replacing. Now to my horror the front arms may need replacing due to the rubber boot coming apart, another £180ish.
I also need to replace the near side mirror as it is broken but I have a spare.
It is either pay a fair price thinking you know what's wrong or pay below value in case there is a long list of problems and then find it is a quick and easy fix. Either buyer or seller could end up aggrieved.
I paid £800 for this Tourer, inside it is quite good but I now feel 5 or 600 would have been a more realistic price.
How have you faired when buying a project, quid's in or money pit?
