Rejoined after a long break, LY182

[richyrich911]

Hi all,

Rejoined here after a long break, my LY 182 has been in dry storage for a few years. I’m looking to get it ready for sale and have a few questions, if anyone can give their thoughts.

1. I plan to get the cam belt dephaser and water pump done, I’ve had a quote from a specialist at around £1600, is this about the going rate?

2. Anyone have an idea on the value of the car, it’s on about 98k miles, very veryclean condition

3. Anything else I should look at doing prior to selling. Obviously a fresh mot

4. Should I just hold onto it? I have an empty garage that I can store it in

Would really appreciate people thoughts and opinions.

Kind regards,

Rich

1- Seems a bit expensive for the service tbh, who’s the specialist?

2- Prices vary but LY do hold a premium.

3- Suspension bush refresh perhaps if they are showing signs of wear, gearbox and brake fluid change.

4- up to you.

Just sit on it. If its tidy it certainly won't be losing any money . The quote for belts seems a bit high, they aren't going to get many to do at that price! Any recent pics of the car?

Set of tyres if they are ancient.

Welcome back to the club mate.

£1600 seems pretty steep. Ask a few other specialists, depending on location.

Look at all the perishables and see what could do with changing.

I’d keep it though if you’re not in need of the money at the minute as it’ll just keep rising.
