Is it worth breaking a 172?

[Rob_02cup]

Ive noticed a 02 silver ff 172 at an auction soon with lightish damage to the drivers corner. Needs a new front wing, headlight and front bumper. The rest of the car looks in good condition and totally standard.

Are these worth breaking? I understand that i could probably get around 250 - 300 for the alloys and perhaps 500 - 600 for the engine/box but is there anything else thats sought after?

Im just considering the worst case scenario before i consider buying it, if it turns out like i expect looking at the damage (not much really) i may consider selling it complete or putting it back on the road first (saying that ive got a friend whos interested in it for himself).

the interior is worth 400-500 depending on condition. steering wheel is £60 or so. The sideskirts cud go for £50 or so. Rear bumper is worth over £100. Spolier is £60 on its own really.

all in all theres a grand straight away just on bits, up to you tho mate.

Sounds worth it in theory, thats if u can shift all the parts tho

 

[Rob_02cup]

Yeah , perhaps. It all depends on what it goes for though. Im guessing over 2 grand anyway

"Needs a new front wing, headlight and front bumper"

thats naff all work. buy it and sell it on :S

LOL yes it is the one at universal! Just dont know the mileage though.

It doesnt matter what the price is now i know from experience it will have jumped right up by the time the auction starts.

Im still not sure if i have to go to nuneaton and corby tommorow yet so might not be able to make it.

As far as getting it repaired i have someone who would do it for me (they colour coded me old range rover and did a brilliant job).

Looking at it again it seems funny why its classed as cat C , could be because of a few things , high mileage , damage underneath you cant see in the pics or whatevers hit it has caught the pulley for the aux belt and fooked the head. Wont know till/if i go and see it tommorow.
