Sag now reduced - why so cheap?

I actually like that interior.
If I had a spare £40k I would be buying that, but as I dont I will carry on with my wedge

Wrong:
Sagaris Bilstein damper = 139,99 GBP
Sagaris Eibach Spring = 49,99 GBP
Sum: 759,92 GBP

Nitrons: 999,99 GBP

(All Prices excl. VAT from PowersPerformance)

Must have come down in price, when I was looking a few years ago they were over £1000

[NWTony]

It's along shot but has anyone who has changed suspension have a Sagaris Bilsten shock they want to sell me?

Fingers crossed!

It will need a 12k service
Maybe clutch
New dampers
Road Tax

So that's 5 grand,

Nothing wrong with the dampers, or clutch.

Its priced to sell, and has done just that.

Thought it wouldn't hang around long at that price,

Just being honest, I'm not a fan of GG dampers, S6 clutches can be a bugger, and it needed a big service, no air con,

As I said before I thought the colour was fantastic and it looked great.

Congrats to the new owner he still got a bargain IMHO

I would have thought the price was about right. All those Sags at 55k plus are overpriced AND they don't seem to be selling.
I don't have an axe to grind about Sag prices as I am a Sag owner myself.

At last, someone that talks a lot of sense, most of them just overpriced and people are looking at other makes.. IE,,, GTR's, F type Jags, R8s ect ect, don't get me wrong I LOVE THE SAGGY, but the bubble has burst for average car's......................

Well isn't that the story... the Sagaris and Griffith classifieds sections contain a disproportionate number of cars compared to the numbers out there, whilst it's the other way round for Cerberas and Chimaeras.

Sagaris/Griffith owner - 'Well, if I can fetch that much for it, why not?'
Cerbera/Chimaera owner - 'Well, if it's only worth £ xxxx I'd just as well hang on to it...'

I'd say the current price benchmarks will need correction sooner or later...

I agree it won't be long till we see 3 grand Chims

But seriously

No air con with that colour, guessing 3k for air con to be fitted,

Most Sag owners wouldn't entertain GG dampers, so 1.5k for OE or Nitrons fitted,

Needs a big service so 1k if lucky,

Maybe Clutch, stone chips sorting,

What else might turn up on service, engine mounts, cv boots etc

Add it all up and it's still a 50 k + car

Edited by WolfyJones on Wednesday 7th May 07:51

[cheeky]

60k if it should need an engine!

It's very easy to justify 55k on a decent car with a sound engine - and more still if that engine's got any warranty on it.

@wolfy
Not sure who's your favorite TVR garage, but in Germany we don't pay prices like those you mentioned.

I'll estimate appr. 4.500.-GBP, but then you have a new aircon, new clutch, new dampers and fully serviced and still 2,5k.- GBP left for a rebuilt to reach the 50k area...

6-7 GBP done correctly with OE parts in the uk.

I'm off to Germany for my next service then

[EvoOlli]

Zeppo isn't from Germany, he's Bavarian or Austrian, so beware ;-)

[zeppo]

I paid for my last big service appr. 700.-GBP, incl. shim check and fluids...
