Title: Break or repair?
Post by: bobbyjwoods on June 29, 2014, 12:16:48 am
Just wondered if anyone has previous experience with selling cars on to a breakers and could give me a rough guideline on what kind of money I'd expect to be offered. Alternatively, anyone dealt with similar extent of damage and could guide me as to whether it's worth spending a little in the hope that i will i will see a return after the car is roadworthy again. Cheers
2005 Mk5 GTI Manual
Engine and gearbox on 62,000
Tartan print interior with Front Buckets, GTI steering wheel,6 Disc Changer
Bits that need repairing: Track rod ends, plastic front bumper undertray, washer bottle, headlight and driver & passenger airbag (new dash required)

Obviously i understand any advice given is based only on the photo's, but everything else on the car has been checked and it's just the visible parts that would require replacing. Cheers

Depends. Is it a car you intended keeping? If so repair it. If not break it.

I've got space but i'm on a time limit, 3 months or thereabouts. Hopefully get more for the engine and box than the breakers would offer me anyway..

On the off chance, any of you fella's drive a Golf with no interior??  :happy2:

I am pretty sure that there is a black mk5 shell at AKS tuning.... you could just swap everything over.

That mk5 shell, I believe, had it's interior ripped out this weekend (by me), and there's no intension for one going back in (not my plans). Also, it still has an engine underneath. And a 4wd system...
