Just wanted a bit of advice really.
If all goes well I'm getting my hands on a karmen cab for ?300 tomorrow, the only thing is some sh!t cut the roof so I need a new one.
I have found someone down the road who is breaking a black cab with a power roof. I asked how much he wanted and he said ?275! I thought that was a little steep as you can get new ones off ebay for about ?20 more.
How much would you say a decent price would be? the bloke says it's in good nick. Also how easy to fit are they?
cheers people

Is it a mohair hood ? Seems a little steep to me to be honest. I take it that is the full roof, inner and lining for that price ? Ive seen new hoods for ?275 on the net with the lining priced at ?175. If it's a full hood offer him ?200 cash and barter up from there, if it's mohair and in good nick then it could be worth ?225ish :smiley: I've never fitted one but one user that used to come on here fitted one ok (danhock), I think he needed someone's help for part of it though :undecided:

you can get brand new standad roofs fitted for ?290, so it does sound very steep if its just for the roof :undecided:
-
It does sound a bit high mate.
One of my mates had a mohair roof (outer only) fitted in a place in Swansea for ?300!! :wink:

on the oter side of this, if it is a mohair in good condition and the roof is coming complete with a working power hood mechanism it could be worth it, if a new mohair is 275 plus the innerlinings. dont forget power hood units often change hands for well over ?100
