Sell Or Strip

[rig-pig]

going to get a newer scoob in the new year but what to do with the one i have ??

the MOT is due in Jan and tax i know it will need 4 tyres and a set of drop links to start with

the rear arches will need done and it has a very slight knock from number 3 when it 1st starts from cold goes after a min which is the norm with a lot of my98 scoobs

so do get an MOT and try to sell her which could take time

or strip her down to parts and prob make the same kind of money

if i was to sell her i would get the mot and tax 1st

and be asking £2800 but i would sell just now for £2500 as is due to the new parts less the tyres and drop links

2000 uk turbo 98 on a S reg with 88000 miles

cat 1 alarm and imob with paperwork, full service history with some recipes

new 4 pot brakes discs and pads, new KYB suspension shocks and springs all round -40mm, mongoose SS exhaust centre section and back box,

new baileys dump valve, pillar mount gauge, JR air filter

back arches are blistered and some stone chips on front

Save the hassle and try selling it first, you could strip it and be left with loads of parts.

i have a my00 classic same as yours turbo 2000 running 266bhp a few mods loads of history in good condition and i was lookin for £2500 for it but couldn't sell. had it on e-bay could have sold it if i'd been interested in a 1.4 fiat punto and an ikea sofa might be worth breakin it mate!

It's a sign of the times, but I think you'll struggle to sell a UK turbo for £2500-£2800, just as Mark says. Sorry.

But I don't think there's enough value in a UK model either, to get that sort of money by breaking it.

If it was a STi - maybe, but not on a UK car. Count it up.

Why not tidy it up - arches etc, and keep it until the spring / summer and try and sell it at a time of year when the prices can be a little better.

You never know, someone might want it, but to strip, it seems like a decent car, would be a shame to strip a perfectly good car, just because your not going to make your money back on it...

...and stripped, that's one less scoob in the world.
