Paging TOG - Valuation needed
|
T plate 1100 Pan. 50th Anniversary Limited Edition, in a fetching shade
of gold.
ABS and TCS (see below).
105,000 miles.
Baglux tank cover.
Honda colour matched top-box to go with the panniers.
Cosmetically challenged, and the ABS is currently faulting. Last time
that happened cleaning the battery terminals cured it. I haven't tried
that yet. Assume dodgy sensor (about £100 from David Silver).
1 year's MOT (mid August 2008) and taxed to end of November.
Currently sporting a towbar, but that'll probably be removed and flogged
separately.
Basically scruffy but sound Pan.
What will I get for it?
|
How did it get a new MoT with a duff ABS?
|
A BMW passes with the LEDS flashing as the test process does not allow the
self test to complete. The self test only completes and the LEDS are
extinguised if both wheels rotate at the same time. As the rolling road
only tests the brakes on one wheel at a time...
|
I'd have thought maybe £1500-1600. Hard to tell without a pic to see how
cosmetically challenged it is. Service history would help.
|
|
Somewhere between 800-1200 quid would be my guess.
|
That sounds low (says he hopefully). I would have thought it would
better breaking it at that price, even in big lumps. Seats, exhaust,
swinging arms, ABS bits etc. seem to go for good prices. If it has the
40A alternator then that's worth a fair bit too. (Having spent ages
looking for one myself)

Did it get a new cam-belt at 90,000? 1st question a clued-up buyer
should ask.
|
|
Interesting!
The cam belt was done at 60,000. So it's "only" 45,000 old. About
half-way to the next one.
|
|
A good question. I think so, but I should check through the sheaf of
receipts the previous owner gave me.
|
Yep, knowing there's £700+ bill coming up (or not) can affect the
price considerably. Amazing how many are sold at 85K.
|
£700? Huh? What for? Changing the cambelt?
|
So I'm told. I thinh Honda dealers look on Pan-owners as a licence to
print money. Mine's only done 35K so that day is still a long way away.
|
That's ridiculous. The belt itself is about 50 quid. It can't be more
than a couple of hours work. I'm going to be doing mine soon, I'll let
you know.
|
Hmm.. a 3-spanner difficultly rating. Middle and top fairings off
(budget new clips), cooling system drained (easier if the down-pipes are
removed) radiator out (after 90K are we going to keep the old hoses?
better budget for them), clutch-cover gasket, drain-plug washer,
antifreeze and engine oil (better change the filter then?) spark plugs
out (how new are they?). It all adds up. I seriously doubt if I could
get the fairings and radiator out in a 'couple of hours' but then I am a
ham-fisted, impatient git. Better GAMI.

Remind me to give you a friendly punch to the shoulder next time we
meet.

Not a testable item.
|
Really? I thought if the ABS light was on, it was a fail. OK.
|
This is what I was told when the ABS light came on in my cage but the
garage 'cleared' the fault and it passed to test. Still comes on
occasionally in hot weather though.
|
It was when my old Honda Accord Aerodeck failed with an ABS light
fault (that wasn't the only fault it failed on mind - the root cause of
the ABS light being on was that one of the rear brake lights had blown
and that *always* caused the ABS light to come on with that model..)
|
|
|
|
|
Blimey, that's better than I thought. It's got some service history.
|
Let's have a quick look at Ebay, then....
Hm. Not many sub-2k Pans around.
This one:
hZ003QQcategoryZ9806QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Made £1650 and failed to meet reserve, but then owner had a ridiculous
BIN of £2.8k on it.
So yeah, 1500-1600 sovs sounds do-able if you gimp it properly.
