tulaweb Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 A private party is selling some used parts in good condition, that I need, and wants me to make an offer. I want to be fair to him, both for the parts and his time in removing them, and I want to be fair to me as well. Does anyone have an idea of what would be a fair price for the following parts for a 1985 505. front ashtray Rear interior light (courtesy light) (I need the outer part that it mounts in not necessarily the rocker part that lights) Front valence (under the front bumper) 2 Rear side marker lights Left front side rubber trim (on the fender around the side marker light) 2 quarter panel lining (inside the car between the rear windscreen and the rear edge of the back-door window) Dashboard Clock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tulaweb Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 50 bucks? Does that sound about right to others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N9TE Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Tell him, "I'll give you $50 for the parts, $75 if you remove them carefully." It can take 15 mins if you hack. More like 90 if you're careful. I don't know much about series I cars, but that would be about right for a series II car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrethx Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 i would've offered a bit more, maybe US$100, but then we're still paying $4/gallon for gas out here in LA, so you should probably give my estimate less weight. also, if i ever buy parts from omar or koll, i now know to offer less... andré Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like 90 if you're careful. He's already removed them, and It sounds like he did so carefully. $50 didn't sound fair just for his time, especially by the time he packs up the valence.
