Buying/Breaking Clio 182



  White Clio 1.2 @ 172
Ok, I've been offered the oppurtunity of purchasing a 182 Mk2 Ph2 for £1500 from a friend of mine which has been spooned sidewards and written off as a 'cat d' he says, I've seen pictures and it doesn't seem to be massive damage to it, but substantial enough to write it off.

I'm not interested in repairing it but I am interested in salvaging a lot of the parts from it for my Mk2 Ph1 such as the engine.

My question is, is it worth it? and potentially can I make my money back or as close to as possible.

I'm interested in salvaging the interior/engine/shafts etc but wish to sell the parts i replace on my car and the remaining off the donor care such as bonnet, wings, door!, exhaust, boot lid, front bumper.

I'm looking for peoples opinions on if they think its worth it. I'm just busy spending £1,000 on having mine resprayed so I would have to see a good return say ~£1,000-£1,500 in the sold parts to make it viable.


Apologies for the long read I never do keep things short :p

Kindest Regards
Dean.

i'd say you should be able to get £1000 back quite easily. might take a while and might become a pain in the arse, but for instance i'd expect the interior to fetch £3-400 if it is in good condition.

i'll gladly take both sidewings, sideskirts and front arch liners off you if you went ahead with the idea!!

Ok, just to update I got the car yesterday.

It's a 172 02plate PH2 with N/S Damage to door and rear quarter and slight damage to the sideskirt.

I am interested in breaking this car and I am salvaging the interior dash/doorcards/seats/carpet/engine/loom/brakes/running gear everything else on the car is up for sale. I'll post up pictures tonight as i'll be pulling everything off to night and taking pictures, I'd be happy to take PM's about offers if you want stuff off it.

Kind Regards
Dean.
