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.
