Alright I'll try and get him down on the price hopefully I'll get less than $100 cuz I gotta drive an hour to pick it up

1sikef

if you get it down to $100 id say its a deal

hamorhead

Well I talked to the guy and he said no less than $120 so I didn't get it but I found a guy with a t3/t4 in town that he used for 100 miles then got a bigger turbo he said he would trade the turbo and a dsm bov for my hids
The turbo has no shaft play and my hids are practically brand new also
Should I make the trade?

What brand t3/t4? Sounds like a good deal at least.

hamorhead

it's a garret
Not sure if I spelled that right LOL like I said I'm new to fi

cvcrcr99

Garrett. Close enough.

Again, it sounds like a good deal! You have any info. on the turbo? A/r? Model number?

hamorhead

no I'm gonna take a look at it tomorrow
How much do u think the cash value of his turbo and bov are? I don't think my hids are gonna work on his car so I might just buy them off him

cvcrcr99

I doubt we can give you an estimate on how much it is worth since we have no information except for the fact that it is a garrett.

I can give you a price...sight unseen. If it's a real garrett, with a hundred miles on it really (he'll have a receipt showing when he bought it, cause he must be the original buyer, no?) cause after all, it took him a hundred miles to figure out "this ain't doin it"! Then if everything is as advertized, it's going to be worth hundreds. Not one hundred.
Once you see it and get the price and the model number and the a/r's, you can find out exactly what it's worth. Try to take a pic of it, and then post it, for even more sage advice.
