Thanatos340 1 #1 May 12, 2004 When using the Cypress Value Thingy to determine the value of a used Cypres, What value should you use for the New CYPRES Cost if you are looking at a Used Cypres 1? When the Cypres 1 was still available I thought it could be purchased for around $875 to $900, But now that all that is available is the Cypress 2 at $1,250 to $1,300 do you still use the $900 figure even though you can not really by a new one at that price any longer? What are the chances of still finding a NOS Cypres 1 from a dealer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #2 May 12, 2004 You should use the cost of a cypres2. At 2 years old my cypres1 was worth more than I paid for it. Oh, and you can beat those prices for a cypres2. $1150 is pretty standard, $1125 is the best I could find (a few months ago). Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
councilman24 37 #3 May 12, 2004 I disagree with the above post. A cypres 1 was never worth $1200 (or pick a II number). The last price I knew was about $950. Now it costs $1200 for a "new" one, but it's not the same. The battery lasts the whole service time, its water resistant, etc. etc. On the other hand, a cypres 1 might be worth a premium because someone doesn't have to shell out $1200. My current opinion is that using $950, $75 for batteries, and $160 plus shipping ($180 in Michigan) for service gives the farest value. If you want the "new and improved" then you have to shell out more. At least that's the advice I'm giving my girl friend with one for sale. BTW NOS (new on shelf?) doesn't exist. Life time start at Date Of Manufacture, not in service date. So once they leave the factory they are no longer new, whether installed or not.I'm old for my age.
