How much are my blemished Akebono calipers worth?
Hello,
I'm new to posting in these forums and I'm not sure this is even the appropriate area for my post...but I'm hoping someone might be able to give me some pricing suggestions on my used Akebono calipers.
These calipers were retrofitted on a 350z I used to own. They came on the car when I purchased it and initially all seemed well; however, I soon came to find that these calipers do not play nice with the stock wheels (I'm guessing the previous owner had aftermarket wheels and switched them out before trading the car into the dealer). The barrel of the rim rubbed the top of the calipers which resulted in the blemishes seen in the attached pics.
After I swapped these out for the Brembo calipers, I put them in a box with the banjo bolt side facing up as to prevent residual brake fluid from leaking out of the caliper...unfortunately that didn't work as it appears some fluid still bled out and under the paint on the back of the calipers causing some of the paint to lift.
They've been sitting in my garage for years and I'd like to get rid of them relatively soon...what is a fair asking price? I will also be including used 14" rotors. Thanks!
Edit: Are these things even going to be safe to sell after they've sat around unused for so long? Not really sure how to test if they're in working condition considering I pushed all the pistons down when I removed them.
