#1: 206 gti 180 - break or sell whole Author: Stigter, Location: Northwest PostPosted: Sun May 06, 2012 11:13 am
    ----
I got a 206 gti 180 with 86k on the clock. registered dec 2003
Its got MOT and Tax till end of June 2012.

What the best thing to do? sell it whole or break it?

if so what you expect to get back in each option?

Is there anything wrong with the car?

If not it seems pointless breaking it Confused

As its a 180 it will have all the desirable parts to break, However seems a shame to brake a perfectly good car?

Break it. You will accumulate more than the £1300-£1500 it is worth as a whole.

Cheers - I still don't know what to do Rolling Eyes

Car working fine - apart from needing either droplinks or wishbones and slight blow from exhaust - bodywork wise its all good apart from carpark dent on drivers side rear quarter.

I could really do with a list of parts and prices that people might pay for them to see if its worth breaking - I have the space to do it.

Pictures are a thousand words: taken yesterday:-

Be warned there are far to many dreamers on here who will let you down after they say they want to buy something from you Wink

Better of just sticking the car up for sale with a reserve.

Tbh that is something you have to figure out yourself, u will also have a car that is slowly being broken sat on your drive for months,

I'd say with reasonable parts prices you won't have to wait long before the decent stuff is gone and them you scrap the rest.

Sell it. You get a lump sum of cash which you can then reinvest into a another business venture quickly.

With tax and mot trust me it isn't worth splitting, may get a bit more in the end but it won't be worth the hassle will be stuck with spare parts for years to come especially with 180s you kind of have to wait for people to buy it as they aren't massively popular so need somewhere big to store the parts.

You bought my black 206 gti a few years back Very Happy if you recall and then just broke it down for parts - I am just looking at all the options. I have the space to do it so its a viable option

Yes mate of course I remember yours was the first I bought Laughing it's all about how much you can get for it as a whole, from experience unless you literally can't even shift it for around £1500 don't even consider breaking it it just isn't worth your time.

No Matt you are reading it right, the nice added '180 trim' isn't worth that much - the bulk of the profit is in the spares / repairs part market. On here 180 seems popular but that's because people who have them are mainly owners clubs sort of people. Not many people outside of info really have one.

Normal gtis on the other hand are much more common, shove random parts on ebay and you will get interest instantly pretty much.

+ I've sold nimrods for £120 - £150 within a week, took me months to try and shift sets of vortexs for £250

Still got a 180 interior that I would do for £300 (that's inc doorcards + glovebox) but literally had no interest in it not even any offers, half leather interior however for £100 would go straight away. Don't think people are willing to shell out the extra for 180 stuff these days

Not really asked - point of the thread is to decide 1 of 3 options:

1. Keep it - investigate droplinks/wishbone thats knocking over small bumps and fix exhaust leak.
2. Sell it now
3. Break it after mot expires

as has been said parting a car out is not as easy as it sounds hrs and bloody hrs emailing then trying to post it all.
thats without the timewasters and then those that say the parts turned up broken when you know they were fine when you sent them.

so very true as its not a 5 min job to do.
i have done a few in the past and tbh never again my time is worth more than the few quid extra you get from parting it out, but if you got nothing else to do then yes you can make a few quid on the side.

It would be a shame to split it as it's in good nick. I would put it on pistonheads (free) and see how much intrest you get look on eBay,auto trader to see what they go for then just sell it at what the Market price,

unless your getting a 2nd 206 you could use some parts for spears/upgrades and makes some money on the way?

If you get £200 more to break it and it takes any more than 40 hours to strip, wrap and post it all out then you don't really value your time much. Fiver an hour, woop woop.

Working out the numbers I got to the following:

Sell the car whole= £1200-1400 as it stands
Break the car = £2100+ using rough prices as outlined below not including all the other little bits and bobs

Wheels £250
Bonnet £50
Engine £200
Arbs £80
Rear lights £40
Headlights £50
Front bumper £50
Rear bumper £40
Steering wheel £40
Seats £250
Pedals £10
Doorcards+Glovebox lid £150
Handbrake £15
Speedo surround £50
Gear knob £15
Mirrors + switch £80
Wings £80 pair
Boot strip £20
Spoiler £50
Gearbox £80
Arch liners £20
Vent sliders? £10
Radio & Cd changer £60
Climate unit £40
PPT40 £40
Doors £40 each
Tailgate £35
Comm2000 £35
Rear axle £100

So as you can see it almost makes sense to break it.

What are your thoughts?

That isn't my prices - I was just trying to estimate what the parts would sell for - I expect there is some stuff either too cheap or expensive. It just a thread to try and work out the best option. Thumb Up

If you have the time, space and patience to break it then do it. But apart from the popular bits you may find yourself sitting on stuff that may not sell for a while. However selling it as it is may not give you the best return but saves a lot of work breaking the car, Advertising the parts and sending them out to people. Plus not having to deal with people letting you down or trying to say items haven't turned up etc.

At £80 I will take the mirrors Wink ill have the front bumper aswell if the grill comes with it, so there is £130. And maybe the wing but not at that price.

if it was my car I would put it on all the free posting ad sites (gumtree, here, swapz, etc) for a week, if nothing then ebay for a week with a buy now/make an offer if yu don't get what you want then break it. depends how quick you want the money back if you break it you may get a little more but you will see your money in bits over loads of weeks maybe months?

Either way - there is more money in the parts then selling it now with 3 months mot and tax. (labour excluded)

If you have the time and can be asked to wait for it all to sell... fair play.

Factor in shipping costs, paypal fee's for those who don't want to pay cash on collection, your labour assuming you can remove it all yourself if not other labour... people offering less, things taking yonks to sell...

Car is in good nick bar the high mileage, I'd bung it up at 2k OVNO

If you take the time to advertise it, i.e good pictures, good description and waffle on about it's history ect I'm sure you could get 1800.

Brian and I broke a 180 about 3 years ago and we've still got some parts. This forum is full of timewasters and dreamers.

Fix it and sell it on.

I may be wrong but I think it depends where the car is being broke on weather or not the parts will go, what I mean is if you have lets say a 180 interior for sale and you live in wales and someone in the midlands wants it but the person selling it wont send it and the person wanting it wont travel then its not gonna sell. I personally have missed out on loads of bargins because it was to far a way to collect and not really worth it, just my thoughts.

I agree I think plp will push for the car to be broke to get parts for themselves, I would like some parts myself, who doesn't like a bargin lol

We broke ours when 180 parts were at a premium and didn't have any issues getting more desirable parts like the wheels and seats shifted, regardless of where the buyer was situated. Some of your prices are a bit off tbh, so you may not make as much as you think you might. Another thing that you want to consider though is whether you are comfortable with dropping an engine or axle yourself, getting pallets and then arranging a courier. It's all fine saying 'yeah it's fine, no problem, etc' but when it's p**sing of rain (or snowing in our case Laughing ) then it's not so much fun.

For the sake of a couple of hundred quid replacing the wishbones and getting the exhaust welded up, you are far better off selling the car as a whole Wink

To the OP, have you considered trading it in. Might be worth visiting a few and seeing what they would offer.

If your interested in selling it as a whole car drop me a message with a price you've got in mind for it...with a bit of information about the car.

Would be interested in it for the right price.

Just to update the thread -
Fitted new wishbones, droplinks, catback exhaust and the car has been transformed.

Only issue now is that somewhere from the manifold to the cat the system is leaking / blowing. So I need information on getting the access to the clamps. anyone know whats involved?

I would asume as you've fitted a cat back it's blowing on the joint were it joins the cat Idealy need a ramp to make it easyer for your self, or if you had it fitted by a company take it back and get them to fix it as they haven't done very good job.

No its fine from the cat back - its between the cat and the manifold!
