Default Time to go EL XR8 Manual

Hi Guys Need some advice.

I am about to get a company car and am thinking i might sell the XR8. What do you think i would get for it.

It is regency red, Manual XR8 Plated 10/97 first rego'd 1998. Strong motor and gear box. Body prob needs $1500 spent on body to make it very nice done 200,000km just ticked over. full body kit with gt bonnet scoop i have always ran it on preimum 98 octane

i need some ideas of price to see if it is worth selling or not.

Oh Yeah i forgot to add that it is a EL2 Series 2 185kw motor

It sounds good. I think it would be worth $9,000 - $10,000 easy buddy. Good luck with it. What company car are you getting?

Well, it probably doesn't help me knowing how much you paid for it..

Good luck with the sale.

Not worth close to $20k. straight srsIIs with low k's still go for $15,000 to $16,500 but apparantly there startin to go up in value cause there the last of the e-series and the first 8's with a bit of grunt for a while. I paid 15,000k for my srs2 manual stock as a rock, factory sunroof, 1 owner, 99,000 on the clock. got 125 on the clock now and lookin at the market could prob fetch $17000k for it now no sweat, not that we'll ever part. with 200 on the clock i reckon you'll get 10 to 12 if your patient and she's looked after.

No, i'm saying, you jealous that I owned an EL2 XR8 for a year and it cost me $0 ? I paid back the loan in it's entirity and covered all repair costs with the final price i got for my XR8 when i sold it.

So I don't know what you're on about ..

i am still deciding what to do as i know it needs a little work and i have already done some on it from when i brought it.

I got it for a pretty good price at the time so it is not really going to worry ,me to much if i just park it in the shed for a couple years and do it up. but......

i dunno still deciding.
