Hi, new to the site as i have crashed my seat ibiza cupra (1.8 20v turbo). :cry:
Basically i may buy my cupra back off the insurance depending on price! What sort of money would i be looking to get
if i sold it on...i know these engines are sought after for mk1/mk2 conversions.
The car was a Yreg with FSSH 47k on the clock i was the second owner. Here are some pics of the damage. Would be much appreciated
if you could tell me a figure what i should sell it for. Would sell it complete probably, doubt i would break it as i wouldnt know where to start to take an engine out lol.

Ouch :sad:

Also would anyone be interested in buying it?

These days the audi TT/S3 20vT's are much more sought after (bigger turbos) , and go from £1200 upwards. I was offered an mk4 golf 1.8T (same as yours basically) for £800 2 weeks ago, with loom,keys,clocks, driveshafts, gearbox etc. People may be put off by having to upick the loom themselves and remove everything if you sell it complete.. but on the up side they get all the interior and the good panels that are left.
If I was in your position, i'd take everything out of it that i wanted then, stick it on ebay with a reserve of what you buy it back for + £100 and see what happens.
Let me know a rough price too as i may know someone who is interested.

owch! :sad:

I wouldn't of said the damage was anywhere near severe enough to warrant breaking the car. It doesn't look like the inner wings should be damaged. Probably just need new wings, bonnet, front panels, lights, plastics etc and a bit of paint and off you go again.
-
I will probably be buying it back for 2200 off the insurance, sure they said thats roughly the price. Maybe a tad more they aren't 100% yet. All panels are in good condition. The front wings are fine also. To fix you would need
Radiators, fans, cross member bonnet, bumper, lights, dash, steering wheel, windscreen, maybe need a jcb to straighten, as the chassis leg MAYBE be slightly bent. Not much tho. Probably few other parts in and around that area.
Also forgot to say the car is in Scotland. Can email more pics if required.

anyone....?
-
this is a name i havent seen in a while, is that you blacky????
And the crash looks nasty!
-
Nope afraid not mate...i just joined today :grin:
-
^ haha.. you wouldnt be saying "afraid not" if you were.. it wouldnt be a warm welcome from many here!!
if u get a frosty reception in places.. thats prob why if people aint seen this!
-
hmm, i wouldnt buy it back off insurance mate to be honest, not for that kind of money, yeah a grand but not £2200, from the out side the damage dosnt look overally bad, but at a glance and with out inspecting it any further id say shes fookin bent big style, for any dash to split like that the bulk head has taken a right clout. You choice not mine, but if you bought it for the money youve said i doubt youd get it back even if you sold the engine/etc for £1200 youd not make enought back to clear what youd paid....
bummer about the crash, hope you werent hurt like!!
Gaz

The dash went like that because the power of the air bag mate. Also i wasnt hurt hit the tow bar about 15-20mph.
Just pi***d off about the car. Still i have put a deposit down on a ibiza cupra 02 plate so just waiting for the insurance money now.
