Parting Out My Car

[SECURITY]

hey guys,

im in the process of parting out my car, as most of you know its auto, a fair few mods and ive had it for around 6yrs.

i've had it for sale and i'd get around $6000 for it as is without rejo, but id still end up getting $6000 even with rejo. i've calculated the parts based on 2nd hand prices and figured i'd make a bit more than that parting it out and i wouldnt have to pay for rejo.

has anyone gone down this route and come out on top?

what are your opinions?

what are the chances of selling a rolling shell?

any words of wisdom would be great, i just need to get this moving so i can finally buy my new car.

p.s. link to the for sale thread is here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Pa...st-t323517.html

cheers!

Two of my friends have done this doth have come out well above i think on got around 12k all up and the other got around 8, the first one was modded the other was stock, so in short i think you will make a lot more than 6k

yeah im sure i'd make a bit extra but is it worth the time it takes to sell it all off?

If you don't have the space, time or patience to haggle/wait for parts to sell, then avoid it.

why only 6k, surely r33 gtst arnt that cheao yet??

[SECURITY]

as a comparisson, i talked down a low km s15 spec R GT from 18k down to 12k, it also had an s14 gearbox (the ones that dont break as easy as the s15 box).... thats 12k for an s15 with minor mods. skylines arent worth shit, theyre the new silvias lol.

if you decide to part it out im interested in some after market mods ie intake manifold , turbos, ecu, coils, coilovers, all the good stuff let me know

part outs may take over 6 months before you get close to what you want

i still got quiet a bit of parts from around 2 years ago

also its generally only good for banged up rusted cars

with lotta mods

if your cars a stock mint condition dont bother
