I'm looking at buying a complete car for the engine and box, ecu and loom but dont need any of the rest, roughly what would the rest break for? I know it depends what it has but say an average car with spax suspension, stainless exhaust etc?

Any advice would be great.

 

my m8 got 1 last year which was a cat c, the bloke hit a wall rear end and that was 1350 still a lot for what was salvagable but it depends on the person selling it

 

basically ur taking most of the bits off that are worth the money!! you'll still obviously get some for the rest but theres so many being broken now that other than the main bits alot of the time the rest go for alot less than they used 2 unless some1 is desperate!!

 

agree with Toe Knee - not much money left in the rest of the bits.

Does it have leather and is it any good as that will prob be where you will get the most return on the remaining parts.

 

depends on the spec

but when you say engine, do you mean bare engine? turbo? inlet, injectors? exhaust mani?

 

im assuming he is using all the running gear - not luch money left in the rest really

 

id be using Complete engine, gearbox, ECU, Loom, starter, alternator. Left will be the shell, suspension, brakes, exhaust rear beam and diff, cloth interior and what ever else. I just think it will work out cheaper than me buying an engine and the parts i need on there own.

 

what's an engine worth these days with only the turbo missing ?

 

depends on block type

if in decent running order between £1100-£1500
