Aspire brakes

[Habitat]

hi i was wondering how much should i pay for the whole braking system. I have a guy that says he'll sell it to me for 300 and the both calipers are new and he said for an extra 50 hell take everything off. Is this a good deal or am i getting gibbed?

Should be able to get a better deal than that IMHO

how much do they normally go for?

It does sound a bit much, but you also have to figure if they're rust free parts, how old, etc. They'd better be quite nice looking off a low miles Aspire (preferably '96 or '97 with under 100K miles) with very little to no corrosion.

I wouldn't pay him to take the parts off though. You do that to get the experience if you haven't done such a thing yet. It'll give you an idea of the work to come on your own car.

I'd let him know you are in no hurry and you're looking around. If he comes down to $250, now you're in the superior ballpark.

Like Safety Guy said, it depends on the condition. If you have to replace most of the little stuff, then it's too much. If you can just bolt it all on and go, then it's a deal.

i paid about 300 as well, 150 for rear beam, and 75 a knuckle. at the time i was looking there where no aspires local to me, but i did find a gold mine and wednesday is half off. so maybe i can get a set up for 200 now

I just bought a complete aspire brake swap at the new Take-A- Part here in town. Hubs, rotors and calipers, sway bar, front springs, rear beam drum to drum and the steel wheels/tires. Total $280. Very clean parts.
But, I pulled the parts myself. WORK! Plus, I will lose a nail. Smashed! And you have new calipers. You have weigh the value/ cost of that stuff to see the real deal.

I went to a junkyard and took all the parts off that I wanted from under the car besides the rims/tires for $100. But it also needs new rotors and calipers/pads.
