What is the going rate for Motorsport cabs these days?

Assume lowish mileage for year (80-100k) and good condition.

Totally origional.

Hi

Anything between 2Âa and 6k seems to be the going rates but evidence of some going for 8-10k which is crazy really...yes they are rare but mechanically no different to a standard cab with a slipper and m tech suspension etc

I have one and cant say they are worth what people are paying..or is it asking

Are you look to buy or sell!

Standard cabs are nothing like the same. I have both.

6.5k for a good one.

Your right, some people pay M3 money for mint cars. I have seen many cars at the bm show in the last 5 years. And there arn't many mint ones left.

Hi

Not going to get into this too far as it could run and run but I said mechanically...the Motorsport basically was a standard cars with Sport parts added

Your car has the Motorsport Option and hence the chassis number has the value due to rarity...but the first 40 and even the next 250 are difficult to tell from the standard car...the next 250 and the final 50 are easier to spot...but due to the bolt on bits

I have one and would sell tomorrow if someone offered good money...they will go up in value but only due to hype...you are right finding good ones is going to get harder hence a big spread in prices

Recently checked out a Motorsport for a customer and the chassis number started life as as a lachs silver Coupe

You have to be careful but if you love your car and decide to keep it, if paid a fair price at least you shouldnt lose money
