lewis hill Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Hi lads I'm looking to sell my engine and gearbox. Both have 75k miles on them with a full Nissan service history. Just wondering if any of you would know the sorr of price they go for? I see on eBay engines go for 1.5-1.7k but don't know if they get sold often or if they have full NSH. I see gearbox goes for maybe 1.5k but again, same as above. Thanks in advance Quote
Grundy Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 If it helps, I'm in the market for an engine, and the price I've been offered are £1500 for an engine with 40/50k - Which imo is over priced Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 I'm really not sure what they are worth ..... But at a guess 1k for the engine with that mileage and perhaps a little less for the gearbox? Quote
lewis hill Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 Ouch was really hoping for nearly 3k for them together haha. Thanks for the replies though 👠Quote

Ian Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 I take it Keyser has been doing what he does best 1 Quote
KyleR Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Never seen a gearbox go for anything near £1500, more like £800 for a tip top condition CD009 box and maybe half that for your typical earlier model. As for engines, anything over £1200 is IMO overpriced, if you got a grand for yours, you'll be doing well. Quote
lewis hill Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 Oh ok fair enough. eBay clearly rips people off lol thanks for the help 👠Quote
comrade Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 If you are not desperate to sell it now, it is worth sticking it on ebay for 1.5k for a couple of months. It is entirely possible that there will be someone desperate for an engine and yours will be the only one available. Don't forget that there are a lot more zed owners than people on this forum. Give it a good clean, take a few quality pictures of it and write some BS about how your engine is better than new etc. There are loads of clueless people on ebay. Quote
comrade Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Yup do that ^^ con someone Where exactly in my post did I suggest conning? There is a big difference between 'this engine is new' and 'this engine runs like new'. Quote

There is a big difference between 'this engine is new' and 'this engine runs like new'. You told him to write some BS about his engine.I my self am in the market for a new engine, - If I went out and bought what I thought and was assured by the seller was a sound engine and was told it had this that and the other. And then blew up in my face I'd be fudged off! When selling something that important, I'd want to know the honest truth, I'd want to know about the knock and leaks it may or may not be producing, so I can address them before fitting what I was told 'a better engine than new' Other wise I then have to take it out and repair. OP - Tell the truth, stick it up for sale for what you want, and expect to get offers of what people this it's value is. Take it or leave it 1 Quote
mouthwash Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 'clueless people on ebay' that comment would suggest that you're being dishonest with someone. Quote
AliveBoy Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 So. Now I know who not to ever buy anything off of! Thanks for the unintentional heads up! Quote
Tricky-Ricky Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) LOL! also a bad choice of user name considering the sentiment. Edited October 15, 2014 by Tricky-Ricky Quote

OP - Tell the truth, stick it up for sale for what you want, and expect to get offers of what people this it's value is. Take it or leave it By BS I didn't mean outright lies, I meant subjective things that you can get away with, like 'runs smooth' etc. OP's post did not suggest that his engine was in any way unsound, so I suggested to add a bit of a gloss to the ad, that's all. Perhaps it was a poor choice of words on my behalf, I am not in any way advocating dishonesty/intentional withholding of material information. 'clueless people on ebay' that comment would suggest that you're being dishonest with someone. What I meant was clueless about price levels. If it is in a fact a sound engine there is nothing wrong with selling it to someone who is prepared to pay extra. You people are sure as hell ready to jump on a highest moral horse you can find.

mouthwash Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Well now you know for the future, our horses are pretty damn high. So high infact, that we've commissioned LIFTS to be built so we can reach the saddle. Edited October 15, 2014 by mouthwash 1 Quote
AliveBoy Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Well now you know for the future, our horses are pretty damn high. So high infact, that we've commissioned elevators to be built so we can reach the saddle. Christ man. You're not an American! They're lifts or escalators! We'll have to lower your horse if you're not careful. Quote
lewis hill Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 Haha good advice. Well it's got a full Nissan service history so I'm sure non members will get very excited by that lol I've never had a problem in 2 years anyway so I can sell with confidence! Unless someone wants to pay over the odds to fund my build? Haha Quote
StevoD Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Never buy from forums as they all scammers especially if you view it first Also very high detailed pictures are a must Edited October 15, 2014 by StevoD Quote
