Ł1500- Ł1750 takes between 3-9 months to sell all the bits make Ł750-1000 within first 7 days.

Mines at Ł5862 and thats pretty much it other than the odd Ł20...it all depends on the spec. But be aware it is a lot ot time and effort!!

the question asked was in general, well thats how ive read it.

i dont brake cars for a living but done 4-5 rs turbos and thats how much you make from my experiance.

if you get idiots with money burning a hole in your pocket your quids in, most rs turbo enthuaists know what things are worth.

anything mint/as new fetchs big bucks, anything used damaged imo is really worthless to a degree.

any bling,engine,performance mods,aluminuim rads,intercoolers etc expect to get 50%-75% back on what you payed for it...

good luck if you do brake it but dont get disheartened when you get left with a bundle of parts that you want to get rid of...

I think if you have a good one they are very easy to brake……I completely stripped mine in 48 hours [It went as a fully trimmed rolling shell]….I sold 99% within 2 months and made what I consider to be good money on 85% of the parts.

The only things which I couldn’t sell/ still have left are:

OZ Wheels [which I have had a couple of offers on]
Fuel ECU [Binned]
