Re: Want to see some silly prices
I was looking at those last night - crazy!!
If you add up the parts he has for sale it’s over £6k and that’s just doors, bonnet, boot lid, wheels, interior etc
Doesn’t include engine, gearbox, etc
So that makes ours worth about £10k if you break for parts

Re: Want to see some silly prices
I'm sure Mike's prices are a bit out of date on Lotusbits.com but last price he published for those wheels was £50 a piece, so the seller should just drop the "1".

Re: Want to see some silly prices
Unbelievable.
Don't tell Alan he could buy a damaged front bumper for only £300!!! and that's only half of it.
We've both just picked up NOS rear for a fraction of that.

Re: Want to see some silly prices
Other than Alan's airbags, the next best thing is the warning "No timewasters". The main person wasting people's time is the seller, at that price!!Hawaiis0 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 22:21More absolutely stupid prices.

Re: Want to see some silly prices
Pricing aside, I think those wheels look pretty sharp! Were they ever offered with that finish- gold center/polished lip? I've only seen them with silver painted finish.

Re: Want to see some silly prices
No silver is standard. That's an owner customisation. Easy for a shop to recreate

Re: Want to see some silly prices
I contacted this guy because I wanted an undertray. He said he wanted £120 for his battered one and i'd have to bid for it on ebay even though I pointed out that I could get one from SJ for £53+vat unbattered! Hes now put it on ebay for £100 so ive now bought one from SJ.
