What would you pay for...

[Mr Burns]

I've just been offered a 2004 182 in blue (Monaco/Arctic?) with 66k miles. It's registered CAT-D and isn't running properly, the owner has taken it to a garage who have told him that the ECU is screwed. The A/C also doesn't work, but apart from this I'm led to believe everything else is okay. I haven't seen the car and I'm unsure of the previous accident the car has had.

What would you pay for something like this? It obviously needs some money spending on it, and I'd be guessing that the belts haven't been done either.

£1k or less

anything more and its not worth the risk, IMO your writing off 75% of whatever you spend on it anyway being cat-D

You can get a good, straight condition Arctic 182 FF for £2000 these days.

That car is worth pittance and is only worth breaking for spares. New ECU, coding etc will cost you the same as what it would cost to buy the car.

You could easily make 1k from breaking it.

Tbh it would be hard work these days. I'm currently looking to sell my mint xenons, mint interior and they're not selling, people only seem interested in modified parts these days.

I wouldnt advise anyone to break a car.. As nick says people only want modified parts or stupid little things like clips etc... I was left with half a car before i got so annoyed with timewasters etc i just binned the lot..

It just takes time and plenty of pictures mate

Personally I would pay around £800 to £1000.

 

[Mr Burns]

The owner is looking to get £1900, which I think is rather optimistic.
