Default Breaking cossie's

In reality how cheap does a 3DR, Saff, Esc etc have to be if it's worth breaking for a profit?

Not that i want to start breaking cars (couldnt be arsed) just something i have wondered!

Standard cars are not really worth breaking.

only good modified cars with lots of uprated bits on are worth breaking imo.

Except the escort cossies.

Remember tho , thats if everything is in good condition and is sold at a decent price ,not sold cheap as chips ,,The problem is tho that most cossies now are so old that 30% of the car is not able to be sold as its all fooked ,

Jim Green, people keep saying that, but in reality the parts just go in a big circle a lot of the time.

I.e. the shell gets sold, restored and fitted back up with another engine etc.

Or the engines go in standard shells for cheap fun. OUt and about in Stoke there are more A reg 3 doors with cossie engines than there are real cossies these days

Oh and the crashed ones.
