Having broken a car before, I swore to never do it again.
However... A colleague has just killed his (as in needs an engine rebuild), and has offered me it for a fairly daft price of £800 as he\'s off travelling for 6 months and needs rid, so it\'s got me thinking.
It\'s got a stainless exhaust, access port, some lowered springs & anniversary wheels of note, then obviously the rest is just an RX8. I\'m unsure of mileage and age ATM.
What\'s the sort of general amount I could make out of it? 3-4k, or more?
They don\'t break for much Gaz, Ignore the prices you see breakers parts on ebay etc gearboxes, diffs for £300-£500 etc don\'t sell.
Realistically body panels about £30 each, gearbox £100, full interior £200.
Probably around £1500 in parts.
Ah, that\'s a dampener then. Not sure £1500 is really worth the hassle.
Rebuild the motor and it\'ll be a nice car.
Sod that. I don\'t need another car.
Then rebuild it and sell it on for a nice profit

Can you give me some more details of the exhaust and tyres please.
Pictures would be good

Don\'t have the time to strip and rebuild it (sounds like it\'s spat a tip from the description of it\'s failure), and I\'m not going to get much for it as it\'s an 03 plate. I was interested in stripping it if I could make £2000 or so.

Nothing to do with me mate, I haven\'t bought it and I\'m not playing middle man, sorry.
Thought the gearboxes went for good money. Quite a few of the racing guys run them and pay quite a bit for them (6 speed ones).
Maybe it will be a good option for somebody looking for a shell for a trackcar, if its even worth much in that state.
