I was wondering how much a used set of oem heat exchangers for a 1.8L go for these days? I have a set that I just removed from my car as I installed a set of SSI heat exchangers. I can post pics so I can get an accurate price range based on the condition and if needed if it would benefit from cleaning and painting them.

I would say $200-$250 depending on the sheet metal around tubes. Are they loose or rattle? Cleaning would be a plus.

Here are some pictures of the heat exchangers as they stand right now. They have been on the car since 74 and taken off at least once during an engine rebuild that my father had done before my time. If they turn out not to be worth anything in their current condition possible scrap maybe?

1.7/1.8 SSI heat exchangers have not been selling in our classifieds for $200 for the last couple of years. Let alone stock steelies...

Thanks for letting me know about the movement of stock heat exchangers in the past few years. Would you recommend just scrapping them?

certainly put them in the classifieds before scrapping them. as long as you dont have to ship them too far somebody surely could use them

I definitely would not scrap them unless they are fried. I updated to stainless last year and one of my old steel exchangers was definitely fried so I scrapped that one. I gave other away but the shipping cost was $30 for one and I shipped parcel post.

I would test the waters by asking $75 plus shipping. If you clean them up and painted them, I would ask $125 plus shipping.

Good luck.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) 75 bucks, maybe 50 if you want to move them faster. They are the slightly nicer style of 1.7/1.8 exchangers with the heaver tabs so someone might want them. I would not scrap them.

I say offer them up for the cost of shipping. This is a brotherhood of fools who care about keeping these cars alive. Give them away. The good deed will come back to you some day
