Default Whats my AU1 XR Front bar worth

hi,

sorry if this is in the wrong spot, i didn't want to post in the for sale bit, cos it's not really for sale yet.

im lookign at selling my xr front bar of my ute, so i can afford the xr50 front bar. i have no idea what these things are worth, and the new ones goign to cost over 500. I'm thinking about 250-300 mark, is this reasonable? It's in good nic.

i wouldn't include lights/indicators by the way.

Thanks

Last time i got a quote for a genuine ford series 1 front bar it was about $1250.00 and even with mates rates and deals cut like crazy the cheapest i could get it was $750.00

wasnt sure if it was painted or not, i think it was unpainted aswell.. i looked into it cause i wanted the series 2 front but didnt happen cause of price. ive often seen series 1 bars for sale for around the $500 mark dont know if the move or not..

considering AWC has the S! with lip new for only $468, $200-300 for your second hand one seems about fair..

Try calling a wrecker and see what they charge, at least then you have a good start point for a second hand bar.

Just called a wrecker (allford braeside), and stiddy was right on the money...

The dude said ORIGINALS are hard to get, therefore the price varys from $350 -$750. Second hand without lights. He had one there that wasn't too great, & wanted $350.

Thanks guys for your help - hope the info helps someone else.

i upgraded my au1 to a full xr50 kit, sold my front bar, rear bar and the rear spoiler for $400 dollars. had no trouble selling them for that price maybe i should have ask for a bit more but i needed the room in the garage that they were taking up.
