Will cambelt help me sell the car?

[LegoHead]

Car is on 47k is it worth getting the cambelt done and selling ? around £350 for the cambelt and service.

When looking at a car would you choose one with it done or not?

 

[Jones]

yes

Yes get it done, it's a bigger incentive for the potetnial buyer.

Anything that gives the new buyer peace of mind. Cambelt means it's more or less going to be maintenance free other than the odd service, brakes and tyres like any other car.

Just add the price of the belt and labour onto the car, I did for my 306 turbo diesel and got the money back. Might not work the same for the clio tho.

 

[LegoHead]

looking for 6500 for the car, i think this will be more achievable with the cambelt done.

 

[adamRS]

Personally, I'd say yes

If I was paying that much money I would want the reassurance of it been done.

 

[Maz]

Yes

 

[LegoHead]

Well, I have it booked in for tomorrow. I spoil my little clio.

Getting new gearbox juice, cambelt and bits, auxbelt, service, new engine mount and a few other bits of plastic that seem to fall off periodically.

Talking of cambelts, my car is almost 5 years old (Jan) and I have done 11,800 miles from new so does a cambelt just need changing every 50,000??? miles or is it also down to age please, if someone knows?
Thanks

72k or 5 years mate

11k thats amazing how you keep it so low?

 

[Djw John]

Age and miles, whatever comes first so get it done to be on the safe side
