Weekend Warrior Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 As usual when bored I flick through eBay and came across this ,as a relative newbie and having limited knowledge what do the more savvy amongst us think . What are the pros and cons ,many potential new westy owners have cash waiting at this time of year and are looking on the net is this a good buy ?https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Westfield-Mega-S2000-kit-car/323224140145?hash=item4b41a8f971:g:d4IAAOSwSXFa33Jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Car Electronics Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Well it's certainly a large collection of nice parts and worth a closer look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy (Sycho) Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I know this car & the owner who was a member on here, I sold a few post Iva parts to him. From what I’ve seen of the the build it looks very good & has all the right bits It was up for sale about 18 mouths ago but I’m sure I was cheaper, it may have had fewer parts though. Could be a good buy for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark (smokey mow) Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 It's depends what you want. For someone looking to build their own then the asking price appears to be less than the sum of the parts but an extra £250 would buy the S2000 in the forum classifieds that's finished, IVA'd on the road and ready to enjoy this summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 That’s a hell of a kit of parts for the asking price. Also bear in mind it’s a Mega S2000 with a lot of the desirable upgrades. The fully built car in the classifieds, whilst a lovely looking car is an S2000 conversion on a regular SEiW chassis, not a Mega S2000 - hence the exceptional value price it’s up at. The built car is well known in the NE Area and well worth a look if you want something ready to go and enjoy the “summer” with. If you want a project on the other hand, there’s an awful lot here for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve (sdh2903) Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 If it genuinely only needs headlights then add on a grand for lights IVA and registration. There's no way you could build one for less. Looks a bit of a bargain to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I reckon most of us with roughly equivalent specs will have spent low to mid twenties to get to that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus prices seem to be on the rise so there could even be a decent profit in it, if you wanted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, looked at the WSC price list a few times recently for various people, and there’s been some stiff rises in the past few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Faulkner Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I was a little concerned by the comment that after module one of the build he gave up as there wasn’t a module two id hate to think that someone would give up due to lack of instruction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
