General Second hand parts - valuations

[nicholasb]

I thought this might be a useful thread. I was wondering if anyone knew what a reasonable price to pay for a original Fiat luggage rack in great condition might be? I am going to be looking for one if I go to France in September as somewhere to store my girlfriend's additional luggage (shoes).

Other people may have items they want valued?

I was thinking about that for when we go to France. How do they attach? You can't scratch the paintwork with one can you?

100 pounds. Nothing more for something that make the car ugly.

I guess they clip round the boot somehow

 

[Shelxs]

They are ugly I agree!

I think they look quite funky. I have to admit that mine stays on most of the time. They have rubber-coated feet that grip the edge of the bootlid and
don't scratch the paint. It makes the b so much more useful. I've carried boxes, a rucksack, ikea stuff and even a bike

They do make a mysterious whistling noise when empty and the roof is down though

Ugly? The luggagerack looks awesome! I have a Fapa-rack atm, but that isn't as good looking as the Fiat-rack. So I'm making my own.

I'm also looking for an old leather suitcase to bring when I need the room.

Guess 100 pounds would be an ok price. I payed 90 for my Fapa (that's too much, i think..)

This suitcase can be yours for "only" €471.54 from www.fiatshop.com. It's made to fit the ugly rack

The local Fiat garage quoted me £233 inc VAT this month for a new boot rack Fortunately they had a new one 'lying around' in its box and did me a deal to get shot of it as they no longer sell Fiat cars.

Talking of made to fit, did anyone ever buy the matching luggage? I believe it was described as leather, but only the handles were actually leather. About £300 when new?

ROUGE bought a luggage rack just before Christmas, I don't think he actually bought a FIAT one though, I am sure he will be along with details soon.................

Problem with valuations is that they vary so much. Someone might not know what they have and sell for penuts others may know and ask top dollar.

 

[LittleRedB]

Yup, take my wheels for £60!!, also a set of grooved discs for £20 but then a set of pad's I was bidding on sold for more than Need for Speed sell them!!

Right place, right time..............

In three years I have never seen a set of Barchetta boot luggage come up for sale on ebay.de or UK. Not that I could get them in my B boot anyway HEHEH

That's because those of us with them like them so much

That's because those of us with them like them so much

Or because they have rusted onto the boot lid!!!

I didn't know leather rusts LRB...:nutter:

 

[LittleRedB]

Boot racks made of leather.......

 

[Alan.D]

Boot luggage is what was on the post LRB, what you been smoking?

 

[LittleRedB]

No, just 'lost the thread'!!
