head price?

[enzo90]

im lookin to sell the old head out of my car and was wondering what a good price is for it?

its got a broken rocker and possibly more damage (previous owner let the timing belt go a bit too long)

other then that it looks in fine condition aside from being a little dirty

I am not sure what the market is for used heads as you can get rebuilts, but I would price it at about a third of a new or rebuilt, maybe the E30 Gurus will have some better or more exact advice for you?

i put it onto craigslist for $400 and got a reply already

Woah! $400 for a broken head, I'd barely give you $100...
Though if the cam lobes and all the lifters, springs apeer in really good nick you may get someone to pay that sort of money

 

[enzo90]

yeahhh

i think the cam is fine because they said that the belt broke while they were trying to start it

but i really have no idea

at least ill get some money out of it

i picked $400 because i saw another head on the internet for $350 with two broken rockers

I'm with Joseph, except I wouldn't give you a dime for it. I can pick up a used M20 for $400 around here. Good luck!

 

[enzo90]

haha yeah

turns out the guy that replied wanted me to ship it to Nigeria "right away" and he would mail me a check

that he assured wouldn't bounce

what would someone in Nigeria want with a broken head?

damn scammers
