177k 16 valver. Worth it?

[Bellend]

Haven't seen it but from the ad it's standard other than being lowered. No idea how. 177k miles. No MOT or tax. Runs perfect apparently. P reg so hopefully late spec brakes etc.

Up for £350 hasn't sold in a while. Will offer £200 then go £250.

Question is, can I make my money back if I have the engine? 5 door dragon green.......

Not every penny but I'd like it to have stood me £150-£200.

Want a VR6 but this is just down the road and desperate for my MK3 to have a come back!

[thai-wronghorse]

Do it,  £200 is easily recuperated once its been molested and weighed in.

[Bellend]

I suppose window regulators etc would be worth a bit along with central locking etc. Then it's scrap the shell time.

Brakes are probably worth something to a MK2 owner I suppose.

Gotta be worth a shot!

Parents will kill!

worthwhile for £250 as the motor and gearbox (if running good) will sell to the mk2 boy's (£150-250)...

I might be interested in calipers all round for a good price  (there no good for mk2's)

I will say a lot of mk3 parts are very cheap now (due to the significant mk3's being scrapped over the past year or two) but there should be a few hundred in your market them right

so i say upto £450 for the lot (maybe even £500 with trim and wheels)

Theres a MK3 16V on ebay atm, Its all running order and has leather interior too. Going for £290, Spares & repairs as its needs welding and its a 97 Reg too.

The miles will put a lot of people off tbh.

The miles will put a lot of people off tbh.

yeah but how many engines on ebay do you see stating the mileage (or even close to what the mileage will be... when i looked there can't be that many 50-60000 miler abf's around  )

my ad would be

2.0 16v abf ideal for mk2 conversion, starts and runs fine etc

[Bellend]

I'll probs keep the running gear TBH.

Hopefully the doors, brakes etc will fetch some money back and then weigh the shell in. Probably get rid of the cat for £40 at my local scrappies too.

Cheers, I need to find time to go look but if I can get him down to £200 then I'll probably do it.

If it's 288mm front brakes I'll take the carriers and calipers

Easy treble money if you know what you're doing....
