i think your gonna be well disappointed... the mods wont add stuff all to the value imo.
with au's and ba's being sooo cheap now there's not a lot of money in e series.

only way to get back any kind of money on a modified eseries is to put it back to stock and sell it for maybe 1500?, then sell all your parts

^^^ this....
its a fairly minute market for a modded e series like yours. you need to find someone with the same 'taste' as yourself.

with rwc and rego i recon you can get ~4000 with rims.
just strip and sell stock with rwc and rego. or cash in rego and sell with just rwc.
once you put motor in your gonna have to retune it again and thats more wasted $$$ ;(

12 months rego and rwc is worth some coin along with his 20"s. if he wants 2k for it as is, ill take it now *with the el motor and retune of course*

$2000 max for falcon that tidy. I was selling my XR8 a while back as was looking at buying a new car, its had it and needs work over 330.000 km now and ive been offered over $2000 for it
EF XR8 manual for $2000 i would have been all over that you riped yourself or it was totaly fuc###
I think $4000 is about right for one that clean with a roady

if your willing to wait you may just get what you want
i waited and got 4g for my old eb, that had nothing ridiculous to make it stand out even though i spent tones on it over the years

While we are on the subject what do you think an EF XR6 wagon would be worth 225,000 kms fairly neat
Car sales reckons around the 5k mark ...
Cheers guys

With a standard front bar, some SVO's and a ED Ghia interior that would be a real nice car...

You'd get $4k or close to it for it, some young guy would buy it for that no worries.
Cant really go off what other people here have said.... 94 wagon with a blown headgasket? no comparison to this car.
And wicksy wasnt that car fucked?
If there is ever another EF XR8 5spd for $2k dont hesitate to let me or the forums know about it aye.

I'm looking for a manual e-series in perth for under 5k, if anyone sees one shoot me a pm.
I reckon you could get 5k for it if you were willing to wait.

Big difference between what people on here tell you its worth and what you will actually get for it.
I hope for your sake I'm wrong, but I doubt you will see over $3000 with rwc.

Someone on car sales will pay 4k with RWC easy, may a take a couple of months though
p.s. That EF XR8 was a mess if it's the gunmetal grey one from bendigo that was on ebay a while back

XE's have taken off in the past few years, i doubt XF's will, XD's are slowly getting there.
I am 110% certain that the only e-series worth money in the future will be:
GT's, SVO's, AIT's, Brocks, Sprints, FBT's, and to a lesser extent genuine ED-EL XR6+8's...

Thats rightt.. Like down there in the cities there might be a shitload of decent e-series cars. But like up here you'd be flat out finding a decent e-series I cud see someone wanting like 7-8k for that car up here in cairns. My mate got offered 10 for his ef xr6 full stock just nice paint.

I'm with you there also to some extent.
But think about how few extremly clean/low km e-series there is now day??? Not many at all.. so go forward 20 years, i believe even a low km clean ea gl will be worth decent money as there will be non around. Everyone will scrap them all and flog them out like they have already. That's my view

I see your point, however in 20 years there will be all sorts of current crazy technology and the current FPV's and HSV's will be cheap cheap..
Thats if we're still driving unleaded vehicles at all??
I will have a 20 year old 6.0 litre HSV Grange and you can have your 40 year old EA GL
