Title: should i keep pescaras or sell?
Post by: jer on 29 December 2007, 19:01
hi all hope everyone's xmas was a blast, anyhows santa's sleigh was weighted this year with a set of new detriots and my name was lucky enough to be on them, my dilema now is do I sell the pescaras or do I keep for resale??? any ideas how much they would be worth?? three are in excellent condition the other has a slight minor mark which could easily be repaired.

You've got to ask yourself whether they will ever go on the car again, if not you may as well sell them. I imagine they would bring about £900 with tyres.

Think that might be a bit optimistic Tom, if not mine are available with no damage what so ever with 100 miles use for a grand :wink:

I only want one alloy - to go in the boot to replace the  :sick: :sick: :sick: emergency skinny tyre.

Group of 4 buy anyone??? :undecided:

It will go in there with my boot ICE install (if I ever get round to finishing it :embarassed:)

count me in Hurdy , I will go in for a single wheel/tyre (ummarked) as a backup one.
Although we'd need to agree a price + thats also dependent slightly on the type of tyre/tread left fitted  :rolleyes:
and the prcie will have to be right lol

That's two out of four - anyone else want a "proper" spare?

Would a proper spare fit in the boot well?

Sounds like there is an interest in the pescaras and am willing to sell individually.  As everyone seems to be saying "at the right price" and maybe going in as a group can I suggest you make me a serious offer.  Unfortunately santa didn't include tyres and so they come as wheels only.   Obviously the one which has minor damage will be at a reduced rate, although I am happy to keep myself as a spare instead of the space saver.

Yes and no!

Diameter-wise it will fit, but depth-wise the alloy will stand proud slightly. This is why I will use it in conjunction with a boot install :cool:

I thought Jer had tyres with the alloys, but I'm sure we could work something out :smiley:

So that would be :-

Me (Hurdy)
John (hufcforpromotion)
john_o

One unmarked alloy each

Maybe jer keep one himself as a proper spare.

I'll PM others to see what they are willing to buy at - OK jer?

dont mean to sound stupid but wont the prescara's weigh more that the spare? doubt it would make much difference in performance though :smiley:

With what I have planned for the boot, the extra weight of the spare is the least of my worries. I'm more concerned about the sub, sub box, mdf and fibreglass :undecided:

aha well hurdy its a sacrifice that you will not be disapointed with.....although... ive always had subs and amps in my cars and this is the first car that i havnt got one in, and to be honest i dont really miss it.

if you are not on a price budget then may I recomend for your sub an alpine type X, they are carbon fiber and are alot lighter than normal alpine subs and also alot louder, i think they go up to around 3000w.  :rolleyes:
