1989 mazda 121 grill and headlight value?

[geoacuraisuzu]

i was on ebay in other countries and found a 121 thats getting parted out and i like the front end i just want to make sure they dont want too much for it
i asked for a price on grill headlights and corners including shipping to the US

That grille/headlight setup can catch $400-$600 fairly easily in Canada/US to the festiva crowd of course lol

holy crap i was not expecting that!!! lol thank you

One thing I discovered is shipping costs from overseas can be quite high. Because the grille goes the full width of the front of the car it's longer than the maximum for mailing. When I was looking into it the best price for shipping just the grille from Australia to Canada was over $200 :what:

I was fortunate when the seller of the grille happened to be flying to Canada and he brought it with him as luggage which ended up costing me a LOT less.

^^its those shipping costs why the grille can typically fetch that kind of money though

Always ask if the seller is willing to ship sea mail. Two twin carb setups + intake manifolds + air cleaners + three months wait = $60.
Ocean freight + patience is the way to go on large or heavy items.

i do recommend making sure the seller understands to pack/pad the grill VERY well, especially at each end which are most delicate and will easily snap if handled roughly. a 10" diam. hard cardboard tube was the best carton i got one in. and even though it will cost even more, don't ship anything else like headlights in the same carton.

Excellent advice there! Ask me how I know.

Hi - sorry for the delay in getting back to you..

The cost to send the parts to you in the USA will cost around $150

The cost in total for the parts will cost $125.00 Note: The R/Front corner light is cracked - but will send it anyway.

If you are happy to proceed, please let me know and I will list them on eBay to make it easy for you to buy.

Thats not a bad price. Its going surface mail. Will take 3 months. Have him put a small 1"x2" or 1"x3" wooden support inside the box the full length of the grille. Not much extra weight but it the best chance at getting it here intact. I had one sent from AU in December. It arrived in March. 99 Days. It was their summer down there. Must have bee rough seas. The grille didn't survive. I had one from sent from England also surface, but with support inside and it made it fine.

You need the fenders also. Nothing fits without the fenders.

What?? Only the newer pride corner lights need different fenders.... The 121 grille matches the stock festiva fenders

well if anybody is interested i can have a listing made up on ebay just let me know because my festiva is now my last priority on my project list
