Post by: Karl on 14, June, 2012 - 09:59:32: Now reduced to £395

Looking at recent Ebay sales that roughly equates to the cost of a set of indicators and some mirrors !

Post by: Retro Andy on 25, June, 2012 - 06:46:35: Not much more than the indicator set alone :-\ Goes to show that if if want indicators buy a C5 with them already fitted, But at least someone will be able to enjoy it knowing it was a good buy.

The sad truth is this c5 was worth far more if I had broken it and stripped it for parts. Just the indicator kit ,seat cover,horn kit and lights would have sold for more. And it would have saved me the time, effort and resources used to get it up and running and in a clean presentable condition.

Strange old world :-\

There will always be the guy's in it for making some cash from breaking them and those who want to rebuild and keep them going - the two will always be hand in hand but it has to be a careful balance between the two which will dictate price - I remember paying a fortune for a rear wheel bearing because i wanted originality and as they were rocking horse poo at the time I was happy to pay it - now that a massive stock has surfaced they are a cheap item - enough of the deep thinking im of for a cruise :) :) :) :) :) :)
