Help On A Price For A 1996 SWB 2.8TDi Fronty

Postby Reeco on Mon Mar 03, 2008 2:15 pm

Hi All, I am going to sell my Fronty to buy a newer version, I think they are 1998 onwards, it's going to be a SWB 2.2TDi Fronty. My question is how much is my Fronty worth, I don't want to be cheeky, nor am I going to give it away either, It has done 125K
It did have a massive major service about 10 months ago. This is what was done.
Filters
Oil
Air
Fuel, Flush out fuel system, Fuel Filter Needs Bleeding, the Pump is on top.
Glow Plugs
Glow Relay
Timing Belt
Tensioners / Pulleys
Water Pump
Timing Belt 2 x Casing Gaskets Top and Bottom
Fan Belt / Power Steering Belt
Alternator Belt
Flush out Intercooler
Flush out Injectors
Flush Out Radiator and replace fluid and winter and summer coolant
Replaced clutch
Change Clutch and Brake Fluid Dot 3
Change Power Steering Fluid
Change Gearbox Gater or seal but I never changed the gearbox
Change Both Axles Oil (EP90 OIL)
Adjust Wheel Bearings (Front Axle)
Replace Power Steering Fluid
Front Diff, SA 90
Rear Diff, SA 90
Check Brakes
Replaced Clutch Cylinder

Also how much can I expect to pay for a 1999 SWB 2.2TDi Fronty.

If I do sell it, I will of course sending in a donation to Peter to sell it on here among other places.

Hello mate, I paid £3200 12 months ago for my 99 2.2dti rs so I would say about £2000- £2500 in good nick

Would be interested to know how much you will be looking for for the 2.8 swb

Hi Ian, TYVM for that Mate. has your 2.2 DTi got Air Con, I only ask as mine has air con and in the summer it's awesome, to have freezing cold air in the Fronty. On Saturday it's having it's MOT, it should fly through though. I have had no offers, as only over the weekend I thought about getting a newer verion of the Fronty.

I only want a fair price. If you like no pressure, I can always give you first refusal once I get an idea of how much to ask for it. ATB. Reeco

A quick Google found a few 2.8 Sports's for sale, ranging between 1300-1500.

I was looking at one local to me at a private dealers late last year and got them down to 1250 - but I walked away.

At the end of the day it is only worth as much as someone is prepared to pay for it.

I agree wth Trugga, a few more lived in 2.8's on ebay are going for around £900, with the work you have done to yours you should get more.

Ill go with £1350 to £1600.

TYVM to Ian, Lawrence and Ste for taking the time to offer me advice. I will be asking £ 1,250 for it as that seems a fair price, It's having it's MOT on Saturday. I will advertise it locally if it doesn't sell in the first week, I will ask Peter to put it up on here. ATB. Reeco

Reeco,

I tend to use these websites to get an idea of prices:

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/CARS/buying ... ur_car.jsp
http://www.desperateseller.co.uk/valueyourcar/index.asp

I am no expert but if you want me to help you check out any Fronties in our area let me know.

Cheers,
Huw.
