Realistically?
R40 000

As in uses no fuel ever?
then in that case realistically R250 000.00 as I will use it simply for getting to work and back.
That uses fuel.... PVM energy bars are not for free!

What does it look like?
Uses no fuel.but petroll engine is optional.But there is a catch.
Propulsion Drive lifespan is 24 months aprox.@ R6000
and propulsion controller 6-8 months.with abuse.R10000
Lol, ok too cryptic, thus we are now down to R100 000.

Seems like you're describing a G-Whizz, in which case, nothing.
edit: maybe not, it needs to be recharged every 5 minutes.

You're not making much sense. Is the propulsion drive lifespan linked to distance travelled or will it last two years irrespective of the milage? How can the controller last a short time than the drive itself? Makes no sense. Neither does the hype of claiming it uses no fuel. It has to use fuel somewhere along the way or it'll roll to the bottom of the nearest hill and stay there.
Starting and stoping the drive and controller damages it.its got a fixed life span +- abuse.
Once its in motion the propusion unit does'nt degrade as there is no strain on it.
A few engineers tried to build it but failed as they ended up with a car that weighs more than 3 Tonns

You need to be more specific. You haven't actually told us anything useful about the car, and quite frankly it sounds like you don't really know what you're talking about. Either that or you think we're too stupid to understand. Until proven otherwise, I'm going with the former.
If you can't explain how it works yourself, then post links to somewhere that does explain it. And then we'll tell you why it's never going to work.

This kind of contradicts the 24 month lifespan of the propulsion engine?
Is the fixed life span some sort of half-life?

Sounds like smoke and mirrors to me, but hey, I'm willing to be proven wrong.
I just asked what a car like that would be worth.There is no links of a exact working model and none of the parts is locally availible.
I should find out if my blown controller can be fixed by the weekend.if not its back to the drawing board.

What people are willing to pay for it, and what it is worth are mutually exclusive. But from what you have described, it doesn't seem to have any tangible benefit over what is currently available.
Good luck with your project though.
It sounds to me Magnum is trying to see how much people are willing to pay for his new idea on this no fuel car. However, from the last post it also sounds like he hasn't got a fully working prototype - thus, I think you're doing it wrong.
Work on the invention and idea and get it running - then, and only then, look at what the market will pay for it / costs etc.
Otherwise, you're aiming for the wrong goal post....IMHO.
