Default not a for sale thread

Potentially going to lose my job in 3 months so am considering getting rid of the Mondeo

But is it better to sell complete or break in bits?

With prices being what they are, breaking it would be more money but a lot more effort and more time consuming too

So what have your experiences been?

The brakes, wheels, bumpers/kit and suspension, if its aftermarket, should go quickly... the rest may take a touch longer to shift... you'd see 3k easily and quickly IMO. All the other bits will sell and make a fair amount on their own, but will take longer to go.


Cheers,
Grant

If things go to pot I'll have all the time in the world so its better in the long run to break, as I first expected

Got a private plate on it too now I think about it so that's about mind made up

Cheers

Great Christmas on the way

sorry to hear that, get a full list up of whats on your mondeo and whats on it. Might be worth while returning the car to stock and selling the goodies off seperately depending on year/spec of the car.

At least your have more time to post on here

there you go

as said, it's not a for sale thread, i'm just trying to figure out if it's worth the hassle of pulling it apart and making some decent returns on the upgrades or selling it as one item to be convenient

this morning we were all getting our redundancy money figures ready only to be told there isn't any and we have to wait till wednesday to find out how far we have to travel to the new place, so i may actually need to keep the car as it's a 40 mile journey there
