really thinking off getting a new car but need to sell my cossie my cossiehas a lot of nice bits on mainly all new and no rust on car but could do with respray due to lacker coming of in places what is the going rate for breaking a cossie?

 

on auto trader a breakers advertises that cossies bought from 3 grand. but from your sig i see its worth more than 3 grand even with laquer peeling.

 

how longs a piece of string

depends on sooo many factors, what people want, condition of parts, what spec stuff you have on the car, and if anyone wants anything

could be anything between 2-6k id guess roughly!

 

im getting the eurge for a m3

 

As said depends on spec of the car realy put some pics up so we can get an idea

 

ive been having them urges too but got unfinished business with my 3dr first

 

Dont do it gaz

 

Regardless of what people want parts go on Ebay EVERY week mate! You'd get 4k minimum IMO!

With all the MSD bits and a T34 you'd do well...

 

Don't do it roosie, has your other half got down off the table yet ?, has she found any more mice!!

People really do need to wake up and realise Saphs just are not worth anything anymore. The 4x4 Sticky and Shorty sold was mint with only 3 owners and that only reached £5k. I dont like seeing the cars getting broken up but i can see why people do it as they are worth alot more in bits.

 

well my headgasket is on way out so i was going sell it for £3500 as it sits as i spent that on it in last year or iwas going to break it do the head gasket etc and sell then engine with new gaskets etc

 

well depending what goodiess your car has i would break it,more hassles but in the end your more then likely be more quids in

 

Im tempted to break mine too rather than repair it. Hmmmmmm

 

i was goin to break my last saph but i held out for £5k

and im glad cause imagine the hours striping it,storing them all,meeting people/sending things it would be a cunt

 

m3! you will be disappointed mate. nice cars and are very good but they do bore you very quickly

 

If you want to break it mate , look on e/bay and see how much stuff sells for ,,look how many items there are and you will see that every man and his dog is breaking cossies on there and as i said 18 months ago ,,this will have a massive effect on cossie prices and there parts ,,IT HAS ,,

You will sell all the bling bits and be left with everything else cluttering up your garage uless you vertually give it away

Look at cars being broke on here over the last 3 months ,,unless a massive spec the parts just dont sell ,

There was a moonstone 4x4 being broke on here ,, a week or so after he said he was breaking it , it suddenly ended up as being sold complete , minus engine and box , cooler etc as he couldnt sell fuck all and has it actually sold ????? im sure it ended up on fleebay

 

as paul has said, unless its something special or has lots of good bits, you will find it hard to shift the bits.

 

as paul says, you will sell a lot of the good parts quickly, but be left with a lot of shit that takes up a lot of space and will only sell for pennies

nevertheless, you will probably make at least £4k but it is hassle sending stuff out, dealing with time wasters etc
