Don't mean to be rude but that is hugely overpriced for a car with a blown engine.

 

what sort of price do you think its worth,knackered ? or fixed ? as it going to cost £1000 to fix

 

IMO I would get it repaired and then sell it. See what price they are going for.

Knackered £4k. Running £7-9k depends on condition etc. Compare prices etc on the Scoobynet for sale board and Autotrader.

£1000? If you do it yourself possibly yes. Otherwise a bit more than that.

 

think ill get it repaired then,been quoted £1000 by a scooby specsalist,new crank,bearings,uprated oil pump remove and install (including towing it of my drive)

 

That's a very good price to repair it I reckon

 

Damn good price.

 

When you say tow, you mean flatbed?

 

iv just had a re-build done by api which were the cheapest around,i paid £1700 plus vat.
£1000 is soooooo cheap to cheap imo

 

that is cheap indeed

 

In my opinion it's an impossible price. Labour to remove is going to be £300 minimum. New Crank is £365, bearings about £150 for standard, head gaskets and necessary seals at least another £100 Labour to strip and rebuild must be another £400 or so Then you have oil and filters and other consumables.

If you get it done for £1000 then l'd be interested to hear how successful it is - as I'd probably farm out all our work to them. LOL

There's an STi RA engine going for £900 in the general classifieds from H.Q.RallyPrep. He's breaking a ver3 RA. Thought it might be of help!
