eBay reveals priciest car parts of 2024 as sky-high Audi V10 leads the way
Engines and seats dominate the list of parts that customers paid through the nose for in 2024.
A V10 engine for an Audi R8 was the most expensive car part sold on ebay in 2024.
The 5.2-litre unit sold for an eye-watering £16,567, placing it well clear of the next most expensive item – a rare set of carbon fibre bucket seats for a Porsche 911 GT3 and Cayman GT4, which fetched £13,086.
Other engines to collect wallet-busting fees included a Mercedes V8 for an E63, which sold for £10,049 and an Audi V8, for an A7, RS6 and RS7, which fetched £9,241.
Elsewhere, a rare rally body shell with doors, a bonnet and a bootlid for a Ford Escort MK2 sold for a hefty £9,146 and a carbon fibre front splitter for a McLaren MP4-12C collected £9,051.
Other pricey parts included tyre valve caps, heated seat cushions and headlight conversion deflectors.
Abir Tewari, UK director for parts and accessories at Ebay, said: “It has been another interesting year for Ebay parts and accessories, with a wide mixture of products making our top 10 most expensive list in 2024. From premium sports and supercar powertrains, to rare and lightweight sports seats, the UK’s motoring enthusiasts are well and truly spoilt for choice.”
