What to do with a written off Golf

[jamy99]

Hello

My black 3 door '97 GTI 16v has recently been written off.

Can anyone recommend the best thing to do with it?

I am able to break it and then sell parts seperately, or is it best to try and sell it as is?

It has suffered side impact damage after being hit by a sprinter van, so most parts are salvageable.

The car was in excellent condition before the accident. The engine was sound (and still is). The interior is great nick, as are the wheels.

Is it worth my trouble to break it, or will I be able to recoup a decent amount from selling it whole?

Any advice and I would be very gratefull

Cheers

Jamie

sometimes you can make more money if u split it
but then u mite be sat for ages selling parts
if u don't mind and have space and time to split it then may aswell

if not try get the most u can for it, but will never be as much as u want
