Whats the value of pieces of a car

[grinder]

Hiya fellow FC owners

well the car is still sat on the drive looking sorry for itself

im tempted to sell as a whole - but was wondering if its worth more in pieces

SOOO .... what are these prices like , are they well off , or about right ??

And before you all start grabbing for bits , this is a more of testing the water to see what the best course of action is .. any ways .. a list ( of sorts )

1 - Engine done about 6K on a rebuild - £600 - £700
2 - 16 inch enkei wheels and tryes - £100
3 - full set of drilled and grooved disc - £100
4 - Bonnet ( ally ) - £100
5 - Unmarked and unripped roof - £200
6 - tan leather seats and door cards - £100
7 - front splitter ( ohhhhhhhhhhh - £60
8 - Front strut brace - £20
9 - FCD - £20
10 - Cone filter - £10
11 - Magnacor Blue Leads - £20
12 - Turbo Timer and FC Harness - £10
13 - Tannaue Cover - £75
14 - JDM Rear Lights - £30 a pair
15 - Front Fogs - £25
16 - Fully decatted exhaust with 2*4 inch exits - £100

thats about the main stuff i can think of , and the only things that give me a problem is the engine removal

so thats adds up to .. errr .. £1500 ( ish ) working on the lower ends of the prices - but then im left with a car thats only worth scrap ( shame as its rust free chassis with 65k on it )

So what are my prices like .. way off .. or about right ?

Not sure of the pricing of the roof or the engine to be honest , and prob 2 of the more arkward things to remove

if the engine was to be sold , i would want the buyer to come and listen to it and help with the removal though

like i said - this is just an initial thought , so be calm at this point and stop circling

I would of thought the roof and the jdm rear lights were worth a fair bit more than that.

[grinder]

i thought that !!

But being as cheap as i am , those are the prices i think they are worth .. prob not what they should be worth

in the grand scheme of things - i dont want to be left with a load of stuff - i would rather it all go thats all

[m1tch]

Exhaust should be more plus is the ECU chipped?

[B.Martin]

Can\'t you wait a few more months and i can buy lots of goodies off you then! :Giggle

Shame your selling up though man.

[grinder]

the ECU isnt .. but i have a chipped one somewhere

[grinder]

this isnt a definate choice - just weighing it all up to be honest

[dthebuk]

show someone the engines working and maybe compression test it and it should be worth a lot more than you\'ve suggested!

[dthebuk]

also more for the wheels!

If the roof has no rips - that would be worth more too - I\'d be tempted to chage almost that for the frame and motors alone.  Removal isn\'t too hard by the way - it\'s just heavy as hell so you\'ll need 2 people to get it off without damaging the car !
 
Personally I\'d go manual and keep it

[grinder]

thanks for the info chaps

although the parts might be worth more - its the risk selling high but taking 6 months as opposed to sell cheap and shift quick

its a very sad state off affairs when a car is worth more in bits ( and only 17 of them ! ) than a car

still cant believe i cant find an auto box to be honest

[grinder]

there isnt a mark on the roof to be honest , not even a sign of wear and tear

[m1tch]

Nickson motorsport said that they had lots of parts for a manual conversion

[turbointhebrain]

it is a shame that they are worth more in pieces!

but if you are for breaking would be interested in turbo timer and leads... fire me info sure if you are lad nuttykrust (at) hotmail dot com

Don\'t do it mate, with the manual conversion the car\'d probably be worth £2K (I cannot remember the state of your paint/body though).

Some of those parts you could definitely ask more for though, even I would spend £30 on JDM rear lights, and there\'re those out there that\'d spend upto £100 or so!

IMO most things could have at least £10 added to the price, and that\'s a min of a £160 increase. (I do realise I\'m potentially doing myself and others out of a deal here)
