Is a CSL worth more in parts than a complete car ?

[bromers]

The basis that some of the bits of the CSL are going for astromonical money (eg carbon fibre internal panels/seats/wheels etc) - surely there becomes a base price for a CSL as it'll be worth more in parts ?

[NZ_M3]

From some of the prices I've seen, I would agree that the CSL is worth more in parts than as a whole - I think if I ever came to sell mine, I'd probably sell it as parts rather than as a whole.

I know what you're saying. £2K for back seats. Another couple of grand for Door cards? £800 for the roof. £2.5K for the Airbox alone??? Bumper, boot, wheels? Car thief's dream by the looks of it!

Thats not good.....Lets not shout about this.....

I think all cars are worth more in parts.

I saw a report once that a 4 year old Ford Focus worth £6k trade was actually worth £12k for the bits alone!

Joking.....

Dunno where these prices are coming from, seen a full interior go for around 1.7k all in, 2k for the rear seats is dream world, as it £2.5k for a second hand airbox and a couple of grand for door cards. Carbon roof (copy) can be bought cheaper than £800 new too.

After a quick search on Ebay...
Centre Console
Rear Seats
Interior Door,1/4 Cards
Unreal IMHO!

True

Most cars are worth less than the sum of their individual parts by a significant margin, especially limited run high end stuff like the CSL.

Baz - I bet those rear seats don't sell for that.

If you are prepared to wait you can pick up an entire interior for under 2k :thumbs:

[TANKSLAPPER]

What do you reckon the front seats are worth ?

[Sailorbaz]

Put it this way, I'd hate to have to pay for a replacement. Not sure as to what they're worth! Judging on the rears, fronts would have to fetch £3K, at least???

Edit.

After a quick search, there was a guy selling a pair in Germany for 5,500Euros.

CA Automotive sell them too, £4300!

Why are you panicking about seat replacement? Just be careful not to 'soil' yourself whilst in your car and the seats should last just fine...! :clown: :hahaha:
