sorry man but thats to much.

If i had the space (witch i dont) i would just buy a complete alfa 75 for no more then $1000. Two where listed in adelaide for $1000 and $800 both runners and the ($800) one had simmon wheels.

I was offered a GTV for free once, but I didn't have the space so I said no, from then on I've refused to pay anything for parts.  After all, if I can get a whole car for free, people should pay ME to take away the parts I need...

This is why dealers make a killing in the spare parts department.

I notice you have been looking for these for quite some time. It's not like there is a shortage of them. If you're not willing to pay a fair price, please stop clogging my "show unread posts" with your barely decipherable garbage. Cheers

Cut the guy some slack boys. He's looking for the best deal he can get which I'm sure you would be doing the same thing if you were looking for parts.

Gents,

This is the Buy/Sway/Sell section, reframe from the discussion unless it is helping the poster.

You would expect the same.

Dont open the topic easy as that. I couldnt care less about to many unread posts, thats the would of fourms. Well mabye they are not a fair price and not worth it in the end with the postage.

or maybe they are a fair price as i check a wrecker and they were afte 900 bucks so 400 i think is pretty fair and apart from that i would say ur a tight ass  ;D

wreckers wanted $2500 for a nord 2.0 and gearbox off an alfetta/Giulietta would you pay that much ?? To buy a complete car is less then this.

Would anyone on this fourm pay $400 for 2nd hand standard Alfa 75 front brakes, calipers and rotors ?? Or am i just a tight ass ?

.

If it meant that i could drive the car  instead of it sitting in the shed i would. But if the market has told you what there worth and you want to be a Darryl Corrigan " tell um their dreaming " thats up to you.

I don't think they're worth that much, but as Paul says, it's up to the market, and to the individuals involved.  I wouldn't pay more than $200 personally, and that would have to be some almost brand new rotors.

Have you joined your local club yet, and put an ad in the magazine?  Or can you "not afford" to join the club?  I save myself hundreds every year by joining the club - the best and cheapest parts are never advertised.

That sounds like a lot.  Which wrecker is that then?

Sheldon  you must also be a tight ass like my self.

I am not that desperate at this point in time, the brakes on the Giulietta are fine just want to upgrade.

Havent joined up as yet untill i get my track car going.

Im going to throw my $400 dollars in here.
I just sold a set of V6 brakes (calipers stubs and hubs) for 150 bucks.
When you can buy an entire 90 or 75 for under 1k thats all there worth and thats all you will get if you really want to sell.
When people start to pay $400 for V6 brakes then and only then can you say thats what they are worth.

These were the pair bought off BT46 after a nice rebuild. Just thought I'd throw some pics up for eye candy!

dam they do look good, I'm off to clean mine!!  For what it is worth, I just paid 95 dollars plus 30 psotage for front hubs disks and calipers from Alfa 90.  Saved me taking them off my 90 when it's complete.  Normal price seems to be about 200 ish, or course from a certain vendors it will be more, but hey they have overheads and have to put food on the table like anyone else, individuals are just clearing space in the garage so are usually cheaper.

Post by: Storm_X on March 07, 2011, 09:24:05 PM
you guys are lucky to pick up the brakes for so cheap, i cant even get the calipers and rotors for that price.

I am getting a set of calipers and brand new rotors soon, but im still looking for another set.
