Title: OK what do
Post by: G174AFC on 04 June 2007, 20:57

Dinged the Golf at the weekend.

Only damage is NS Wing, scuffed bumper, both headlights and Grille (have standard GTI Grille with spoiler though)

It's a 1.8 8V 5 Door in reasonable nick apart from the damage, I have put OZ Mito 5 spokes on it and Pirelli P6000's last month, has been lowered 80mm all round.

Interior is in great condition as are all the other body panels.

Question is - I need to make as much money as poss.

Do I repair and sell?

or

Do I break for parts?

Whats gonna make me the most?

Thanks in advance, would love to stay with the Golf but I need the money...

you won't make as much money if you repair and sell, break for maximum cash. but you know you really should repair and keep it!

Depends, breaking a car can take ages to sell all the parts and get money in.
if you sell as a whole, even with the damage, you will get a lump of money immediately instead of dribs and drabs.

and tbh, you can repair that damage for about £50 all in if you used 2nd hand parts.

Thanks for all the advice guys and gals...

We have managed to bend the wing back in to shape, just needs a bit of filling and a blow over to finish it off.

Standard Grill and Cross hairs will go on next week.

Any Ideas as to what its worth as it stands?
