Default Modded vs Standard Cosworth prices

If u had a mint saff with 54k on it, no rust etc but totally std what would it be worth against a 400bhp big modded one?

Thinking of putting my Saff back to totally std, i would have thought pricing would be similar? Not selling it, just thinking i'd have as much fun in it as i dont use it! Plus will fund a supercharged jetski with the sale of the trick bits!

Swimming lessons before a charged jet ski would be good, lol.

I would say they would be very similar price wise....but like you said Phil, you can then sell the trick bits and be quids in......

Sapphires are selling well now in standard form.....

phil i would say you would be quids in to sell on your modded parts ,as a car with that mileage would probably fetch near the same price as a modded one imo,

Benni, yes thats the plan this winter providing i survive tommorrow, weather looking bleak very bleak for me but very good for everyone else Apparently tommorrow will mean "serious air"

Cheers guys re saff thats what i was thinking as this car has parts that have only done 500miles from new like AP 6 pots, stage 2 adrenalin rear beam, gaz gold coilovers, 18inch comps etc etc etc

I've thought about putting my car back to standard and selling as a standard 3dr seems to sell for the same price if not more than a modded 3dr

Phil, you puzzle me you really do!

You've got two fine German cars, you dont need the shonky old Ford just sell it on and mod your ski.

Phil,

be easier just selling the saff.

are you really going to go through of swapping all the parts over and having a standard ish one...where will the fun be in the car then...you will soon get bored with it.

sell it and buy a stonker of a jet ski, which you will get more fun out of.

This car was always destined to be broken to be honest, I thought that when you bought it.


Cheers,
