hi all, i'm thinking about selling my mk3 but then thought about breaking it. i just wanted to now, how much on average would be raised if i broke it?
thanks.
-
Hard to say an average, as it depends on spec.
List the condition & mileage of the vehicle, what factory fitted bits are on there, & what aftermarket / converted bits are on there.
With this info we can make an educated guess based on what parts have sold for previously.
The standard GTI 8v doesn't really have much of value so it's
sub £100 for engine
£50 gearbox
£10 to £20 per panel
etc.
-
Scrapping gets you around £250 these days.
What you also have to consider is can you dispose of the shell once the engine etc has gone?
-
Your not going to raise a lot breaking an 8v GTI, if it was a 16v or Anni your would see a lot more interest.
-
"97 2.0 8v Recaro's + Air Con, BRC LPG Conversion, Stainless exhaust & manifold."
The above is what it says below his SIG Picture.
Recaro's, Exhaust & manifold, May sell with ease. But the rest you will struggle.
-
I raised over 700 breaking an 8v

I raised over 700 breaking an 8v
Over how long?
-
In about 2months
-
The amount you can raise is definitely dependant on time, space and effort. I was going to get an 8v to break last month as i could have had it for scrap cost but didn't bother in the end due to lack of interest in parts and i didnt want to be stuck with in pieces outside my house for more then a few weeks.
16v, VR6'S & Annis are the only ones worth breaking imo unless its a heavily modified 8v.
-
i'd probably struggle to get rid of the shell to be honest. it has 175500 on the clock, still runs like a dream and the only mods really are the lpg and exhaust and manifold. as for condition it has stone chips, bit of rust on r/os door and peeling lacquer on rear quarter. think i'll just put it in the for sale section. thanks for the reply guys.

You may make more money by doing things such as this:
Pick up some bog standard seats and fit them in your Mk3, Sell the Recaro seats separately.
If these are in good condition they may sell for more money than a standard Mk3.
-
Standard interiors are dirt cheap , even free sometime. The Recaro interior has got to be worth £150 min depending on condition.

Maybe more if its heated!
-
Of course, that was just a minimum for an average condition non heated and non leather Recaro interior.
-
You should make alot more that 250 quid !!
I got £80 for bare shell recently!! No panels wheels engine or interior
Recaros will be worth 300 if good order
Just depends if u can be arsed to strip it right down and sell everything
-
Bit high on the Recaros there Brad!
Maybe 250 if leather but this I think is a cloth set.
I agree he will make more than £250 if he can put the work in doing the stripping and posting etc.
AND get rid of the shell.
-
The seats are the cloth type, they look like the standard black with the bits of colour in them and recaro sown in. I don't think I'll have the time for breaking it.
-
i dunno Len, iv seen those cloth ones go for LOTS.. ED38 is your best bet
what car you thinking to replace the mk3 with anyhow ?
-
Yh, seen the cloth recaros go for more then leather

The first two are the same as mine and those prices are gooood. I not replacing it, the tax is up the end of this month and insurance next month, I haven't got the funds to renew and I don't want it sitting there wasting away.
-
Pick up a standard set of seats and then sell the Recaros, you will gain all round.

See told you Len!
My mate just paid 350 for a mint full set
the Factory Leather is really poor on the mk3 Recaro, well its not even leather on the sides and rears.
This is why i had a Retrim on mine, otherwise id rather have the cloth personally
-
Oh really, what material is used then.. Cheapskate b@stards!
-
Probably some vinyl that looks like leather

What all those stupid numbers?
Well personally I would have leather over cloth any day!
Just shows ya what ED38 is like!

In this case i would, the cloth Recaros are basically standard seats with bigger bolsters.
