steering and suspension tii Struts value

[Flatlight]

Hi all, when tii "Struts" are being sold, is that typically the whole strut meaning disc, caliper, tube, plate and spring?  I have a set of '72 tii struts (complete) but the calipers are frozen to the discs.  Is $250 reasonable to sell them?

 

Thank you.

I'm interested in them for $250.  Where are you located?

Just the Tii strut bodies sell for ~$250-$300 in good condition these days.

^ Triple that.

if there is wear on the inboard bearing surface of the spindle i'd be loathe to pay 3X his initial suggested price query.  at the lower price i'd be more forgiving but as the asking price rises a buyer would be well served to ask for a close up photo of that area.

 

the spring perch is another area that can rust out and weaken.  that can be dealt with, but worn spindles, not so much...

Unfortunately yes.  500-700 for bare tii struts with good spindles seems to be the rate.

Hey, thank you all for the info.  I'm going to check the spindles and clean them up a little, then place them in the classified section.  Thanks again.

I should have indicated "each", but it's definitely not triple that (well maybe on Ebay it is).  I recently bought a pair for $500, and saw another pair listed at $600.  

 

Definitely not cheap though!

I picked the wrong decade to sell 2002 parts.

 

That's nuts.

 

Just sayin'.

a good deal comes along on eBay once in awhile.  about 2 years ago i got a pair of Alpina struts, calipers and rotors (the ones with the bulge and 'upside down strut insert') for $500, delivered to my house.  the seller posted up some ambiguous photos and i took a chance.  no one else bidded against me.  The rotors are down to 18mm from the original 20mm and a NOS set sold here on the FAQ for $1000 alone about 6 months ago.

Sounds like you got a rockin' deal on that one set, and probably should have picked up the second.

 

The pricing is most certainly triple.  At least on a professional level.  You will not find a professional shop willing to sell an inspected pair for anything less than 1k.  Call up guys like Patrick O'neil, Ken Blasko, Rob Inhout, Sean Casey, Matt McGinn, Terry Sayther, Matt Rhose, Dave Vaarco, Jack Fahuna, Jeff Tigh, Le Tran, etc.

Ha!  Good to know.  Better go pick up that second set...
