VT Front and Rear Bumper Pricing

[benpotter]

Howdy,

Was browsing marketplace when I saw a front and rear bumper for a VT Exec, paint looked good, seller is asking $100 for each.

Was just wondering if it sounded like a good price.

Wanting to replace both of mine due to the scrapes on the front and paint chipping on the rear. (Can’t really be arsed fixing)

Doesn't sound too bad to me, but I could be wrong

$100 for a good paint bumper is all right of a price

Is this a gee-up post? How much were you expecting to pay?

Don't think so, O.P seems to be asking a genuine question and he is also young, so he probably doesn't want to get ripped off...

Surely OP isn't that naive? $100 barely gets a bag of groceries let alone a bumper bar. In saying that, I'd be more concerned about ones ability to replace said bumper if they have to ask a question like this

1. Go to ebay.com.au
2. Search "VT rear bumper"
3. Make sure ebay doesn't autocorrect "VT" to "VW"
4. Tick the box on the left of screen that says "sold items"
5. See what they've sold for recently.
6. Repeat for "VT front bumper"

IMO, $100 is a pretty standard price for a bumper. Probably a good deal if the paint is flawless and it's nearby. Freight is going to make it not worth it.

Guhh don't get me started on that ebay VW thing. Is that only recent? Mine only started it maybe 3 weeks ago. And if using phone, it can't over-ride it.

Yeah, if paint is good and of course, the right colour, then perhaps that bumper is worth several hundred in saved paint costs. White not so much, since it's so common and often bad paint is not obvious or matching to car.

Jesus it's annoying, isn't it? It definitely is a recent thing. Does it for VX as well. On computer there's an option at the top you can click that says "Showing results for VX and VW. Search only for VX?" which I actually only just discovered because apparently I skip over all the bs at the top and just look at the results. The good thing about this is that if you are logged in to your ebay account and you click on the "search only for VX" link, it makes the autocorrect go away on both computer and your phone (provided you're logged in on your phone as well). So go log in on a computer and fix it up and it should bugger off for good on your phone.

I'll have to check that out. I noticed on desktop it says you can select A instead of B, phone seemed more limited. I'm sure the neighbours know about it at 3am too....Muvva Fu...!!!
