I've got a line on an '86 Carrera front suspension. Seems to be in good shape. The owner wants $700 for everything less rack (control arms, torsion bars, anti-roll bar, tie-rods, calipers, rotors, struts, strut housing, need I go on...). 49000 miles, Boge struts. Coupla questions:
1. What's the deal with Boge's? Is it true the Boge is the bottom-feeder on the 911 strut food-chain? Are they bad enough to queer the deal? 2. In general, is $700 a reasonable price for the whole setup? Is this about the going rate for a late-model front suspension? Thanks for the help. |
