Title: used 231 engine in running order...whats it worth?
Post by: boosted on April 24, 2015, 11:07:30 PM
The lad i sold the red 231 is having hot start issues and he has enquired about my spare engine. This is the 1 i have sat in my garage doing nothing....circa 65k and removed from the westy by me when i put the new 1 in. I know its a good un as hot starts allday and ran very well in the westy.....id like his old engine in px so i can rebuild myself as a project.....ive filled it with oil and turn it regulary...but whats its worth fair to the pair of us?

Not really sure either, but it sounds low-fair if you are not offering any form of warranty (beyond maybe a month or so, to allow buyer to confirm all OK).

difficult 1 because i dont want the hassle if it plays up. ideally red 1 needs a comp test and gen coils not the cheapos he fitted.mmmm
