How much is a good 2.2 16v ecotec worth?

banter general discussions etc

How much is a good 2.2 16v ecotec worth? by gregster on Sun May 29, 2011 11:28 pm
Your thoughts guys required on what a good 2.2 16v ecotec is worth with 120k on it...
no rattles whatsover, no overheating whatsoever...
Hasnt dragged a 2 tonne fronty around, just a VX sintra..

The reason I ask is I am trying to decide what to do with our Sintra when Sallys 2.8 shorty glitterball hits the streets again...
Its a great car, with really useful seating configuration and amount of space and twin sliding side doors and captains chairs up front that turn round...
I am just weighing up whether to sell it as it wont be needed any more
or whether to sell all its drivetrain and donor its body onto a LWB fronty A 2.8 chassis making a great overlander.
Have measured up and with a 14" lift on it, a 12 ft caravan awning will fit the side really easy and will be the right shape, plenty of room for sleeping inside...
Sounds mad but would be a really cool off roader, picture it with winches, a barrage of lights, full roof rack with jerry can etc...and 33's of course cos I love a 33" tyre...

So how much do you reckon a good 2.2 ecotec is worth???
Check out the index thread below where pics/reviews from all our past meets can be found!!!!
click here for the SE Events Index/links Thread...see all the reviews and whats coming up soon!

Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...
She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body...
Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!

A good 2.2eco lump can fetch anything upto £1000 as my dad found out last year when he paid £800 for one with 75k ish on it. Granted he had his pants down I'm sure but just wouldn't be told but its a superb engine better than old one ever was and he is just happy his fronty is back on the road.
Regards Ady
