Default Good price for a super ram?

Ive been debating whether or not this auction is worth it.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA:IT&ih=007

What is the most I should pay for that auction?

I added up the individual items in the auction, and they added up to just over $3,000

That all depends on how bad you want it.

I would buy it with the intent of using JUST the cast intake parts and not the whole setup. You have NO idea of knowing if the injectors, ECM, harness, etc is any good OR will even work for your car until you put it on and see what happens. If you pay what you think the intake setup minus all the extras I would say that you got your moneys worth. FYI: I have seen SR go from 500 to over 1K depending on what condition it was in. do a search on here and you can see what they have sold for.

I was watching that auction myself. Still surprised what it ended up going for.

Looks like the auction is over. Be patient one will come up here on the forum, its where I found mine. I think they were around $1400-$1500 new, so you can judge the cost from that.

Good Luck, Paul

I bid on it for $1800 and at the last 6 seconds, someone bid more and it ended up going for 1900. I assume they put in a bid for $2000.

Considering that they are out of production (last I heard): Years ago I paid $799.95 for the Superram and $459.95 for the accel base....the fleabay price was not too expensive considering the laws of supply/demand.

A good/normal deal on the forum for the SR plenum, lid, runners and base is 750$ +/- based on fuel rail and TB.

And I would expect that to be slightly elevated with the lack of production.

As far as I know they arent being made any more. prepare to pay through the nose if you want one. Personalli Idput something else on before spending that much.

Did that guy get ripped for $1925, or do you think they are going up in value and might be worth even more in the future?

He got a lot of stuff and if he needed it...and it works, I think he got a really good deal. It looks nice and all the extras probably total up to what he paid, lets just hope it really is all functional...

I will say this, I have a SR on my car right now and I've been debating playing with a custom intake, originally I was going to sell it to fund the other intake, but now I think if/when I do that, I'll just hang on to it. It is one of the ones that doesn't have leak issues and it just makes great street power. If I was selling it today, I'd probably price it at ~1k. But then again not everyone likes them that much, so hopefully you can find a better deal.
