Is this a good price for a used caterham? Thanks.

Hey guys I am looking at buying a 2002 caterham E- class racer converted into a road car. The car has a new 2.0 zetech engine with upgraded kent cams (5 speed trans). Also the car has stack gauges, composite race seats, and comes with 4 extra wheels and tires and full roll cage. The gentleman is asking 35 grand and is firm on the price. Is this a good deal or is it a little high?
Thanks a lot guys for the help.

Ps. Awesome site!

That sounds in the ballpark, especially if it is in excellent condition. Do you know if it is fuel injected (vs carbs) with an aftermarket ecu, and has individual throttle bodies vs a stock Ford system? This would add value (and horsepower!).

For a comparison, I noticed that the Colorado Caterham dealer has a new Caterham Classic for sale, without engine or transmission, for $38,000.

Hopefully some of the Caterham experts will chime in too.

Thanks for the info.

Its the same crate Zetech engine that you can get from Caterham USA with the more aggressive Kent cams option(200hp). Its fuel injected with a stock ford ECU.
Thanks again.
