Good williams engine price?

[Speedy88]

Someone I don't really know has offered me £200 for a 10k williams motor. Yet to inspect it, he seemed dodgy but I'm actually none the wiser to how much I should pay for a williams.

If it genuinely has done 10k thats a bargain.

I paid more for mine than that, had done 60k something with paperwork to prove but turned out to have a snapped cambelt

If it's good, that's a fair price for one. But, if he seemed dodgey, I'd say steer clear, until one you're more comfortable with comes along. It's not such an AMAZING price that you'll never see one offered for that much again.

Some people just seem to get silly cheap bargains, but sadly i'm not one of those people.

Here's a few for price comparison

Damn willy engine prices over there! That's less then half of what you pay over here for a willy engine...


over here, they cost like a 1000euro's for a runner...

I checked it out and politely laughed in his face. I'd take a guess at 120k plus on this motor. He had it running on a crane and it sounded like a transit

He didn't help matters when I checked the papers and he let slip that the clio "was involved in an incident".

At least I've got an idea now of what to pay.

Out of the blue comes the birth of possibly the best crashed, green, leather interiored 340 in the history of all 340s.

Nicely snapped up there VND. Looks to be a bargain, you could sell all the un needed bit's i.e subframe blah blah etc and probaly end up with a Williams lump for nowt
