klawsterfobik · 03-01-2006, 10:46 AM

LowEL2XR8 · 03-01-2006, 11:09 AM

I'll take the steering wheel its a momo.

EFFalcon · 03-01-2006, 11:29 AM

i'll take many thousands of dollars and repair it :P

TuMor · 03-01-2006, 11:41 AM

was it a financial write-off?

spope · 03-01-2006, 11:55 AM

It would be, yes - they state if it is a statutory write off.
The damage isn't that bad, really - if you were keen enough it could be fixed.
Anyone know what it would roughly sell for?

Racecraft · 03-01-2006, 12:01 PM

its done nearly 250k so not a great deal, you'd be better trying to get it cheap and part it out than throwing it back on the market, with those klms maybe 7-8 grand, Buy the time you replaced the 1/4 panel and front and rear bars you could spend upto 3k if you can't do it yourself.

EFFalcon · 03-01-2006, 12:20 PM

It seems most EL XR's go for big prices.
far more then i'd be prepared to pay for a damaged eseries.

TuMor · 03-01-2006, 12:44 PM

could i have the 5.0 badges? i want to make my ea go faster

klawsterfobik · 03-01-2006, 01:04 PM

so is anyone seriously looking at buying this, or is it just a "if" question?

niko · 03-01-2006, 01:21 PM

i aint got a few k to blow on a diff lol :P

EDXR6T · 03-01-2006, 02:06 PM

wut's the starting price on it??
plus screw striping it put a garnd max in to her then flog it for 12g:P

efgiar · 03-01-2006, 02:12 PM

how much do u reckon it would go for?

EDXR6T · 03-01-2006, 02:15 PM

me and the old man r seriouslly considering placing a bid on her
we can do all the repairs our self just need materials just wunt to know wut we'l b lookin at for a starting bid

EFFalcon · 03-01-2006, 02:19 PM

starting bid depends on the day, whos there.
5 speeds demand big money
V8's demand big money
XR's demand big money

i'd expect maybe 4grand or something, but maybe more as its not that damaged.
how ever i could be way off.

Racecraft · 03-01-2006, 02:20 PM

by the time you remove the rear window, replace the 1/4 panel and rear beaver panel, fix the bars and paint the repairs then front up and pay for a WOVI how are you going to do all that for a grand.. lol

EDXR6T · 03-01-2006, 03:51 PM

i thoughts i was only paint that was the problol

efgiar · 03-01-2006, 04:14 PM

slap some bog in her shell be right! lol!

Psycho Chicken · 03-01-2006, 05:35 PM

I wouldn't bother, someone is gonna buy that for the compliance plates.

If you do get it, dibs on the explorers.

They sure do... this one will probably go for like $7-8k just beacause its an ELXR8 SERIES II

with manual, bodykit and sunroof etc. Not worth it if you wanted to repair it considering the damage.

Tornado · 03-01-2006, 06:21 PM

There was a white EL XR8 a few weeks ago also with sunroof that went for $2.5k
It had rear and some roof damage. I saw it on the web the day of the auction and didn't get there in time :o(

niko · 03-01-2006, 07:36 PM

guys read the initial post

i know it would be to much to repair, i also think it will go for moneys that effalcon suggested starting bid around 2-2.5 ending high 3's or low 4's

a stat write off el xr8 manual sold for 2200 meaning u cant register it... (few weeks ago)

ilsautomotive · 03-01-2006, 08:30 PM

When I bought my EL wreck, there was some damaged EF XR6 which went for nearly 10. Not much less than an undamaged example.

Bobman · 03-01-2006, 11:11 PM

I think I've seen that car around before "TJS" one of the last EL XR8's too..

I'm heading to fowles tomorrow, and broadfordcarsales.. which have a EF Futura 5 speed for $2850

Heap of cheap E-Series now at auctions

gtfpv · 03-01-2006, 11:22 PM

1000 to 2000 tops.

03-01-2006, 11:29 PM

i would say easily 3-4K someone will try and repiar that even though K's are high. most likely a panel beater who can do it cheap.

sphell · 04-01-2006, 10:35 AM

that would only be good for parts like Nicko said. If you were gonna repair it then you'd have to be able to do the work yourself to make it worthwhile. A car like that would sell for a fairly high price at auctions IMO.
