Title: how much to pay for g60 valve cover
Post by: Dirtrag2 on April 10, 2012, 01:41:07 pm

i'm off to my local euro JY tomorrow to pull my new g60 intake mani for my AAZ  ;D  while i'm there i may also remove the very sexy g60 polished valve cover...  what is an acceptable price to offer?

I'm sure there are exceptions to this but I think most junkyards price things based on what they are not what engine they go on... Don't act like it's any big deal, just go get a Volkswagen Corrado valve cover. Unless they know there's something special about them they shouldn't charge you more than they would charge you for say, a Volvo valve cover.

I wouldn't pay more than $20 for one at a junkyard but maybe I'm spoiled, around here people don't think old European cars are anything special. It's the Japanese stuff that commands ridiculous prices.

I agree with Baja, $10-20 at the junkyard.

What do they go for on cleaned up on the forums/ebay/craigslist? $50?
