Subaru alloy bullbar ... $365?

Is this way too much to pay for a second hand alloy bullbar? I know they are hard to find and all, but it does seem like it should cost that when its brand new, not second hand. its currently on ebay.

Brand new alloy bars are over $1000

That's a bargain price. I paid $450 for mine secondhand a few years back.
Mate of mine got a brand new one made up for $1100.
They don't wear out. If it hasn't been hit by anything, polish it up and it will BE new.

Just to be clear though, are you talking about a Bullbar, or a Roobar? Some people don't know the difference...
A Roobar is a tube arrangement which mounts in front of the standard plastic bumper bar.
A Bullbar is a full heavy duty bumper replacement.

$365 is quite steep if it's just a roo bar...

The question that needs to be answered is it for an MY or L series?

(Although) Either way its a still a bargan.

$365 for an alloy bullbar second hand. i thought this would be rather steep... one wreckers in melb asks $60 for a bullbar... gotta find one though (almost landed a good looking 4 post replacement bar but it was already sold

)

Maybe it's just tassie but:
paid $100 for a secondhand MY bumper replacement bull bar, then 400 for a whole car with a better wrap-around, 14"s, lift, rust, etc.

Bought an L bullbar for $80, with another wrecker quoting $120

Also know of a custom alloy bar that was done locally for around the 300 mark.

But as has been said, finding them at this price can be a problem, just have to keep an eye out.

For 1100 + I would want it to be made from titanium alloy.

Keep a look out for other cars with bullbars on as well. Ford Courier ones fit really nice on L's with a small bit of ally welding to the mounts..
