Are my mods worth anything? - R32OC

Rupo · 7th September 2009, 01:45 PM

Not sure what section to put this in as they are not 'technically' for sale yet.

But, are my mods worth selling before I give the car back to VW?

I would need to get enough in order to have them removed and to make some money from them.

I spose the only bit that might be worth anything are:

The exhaust, cats, manifold
Carbon Bonnet?
Cams?
Suspension?

If I could get 1000quid for it all after paying to have it removed Id be happy. Is it worth it or shall I just return it to VW mods 'n all...?

Ps. This isnt DEFINATELY happening yet so vultures can keep circling...

£1000 for the lot?

If someone doesnt snap all that up for that price id be EXTREMELY surprised.

have a word with ish. he may be interested. hes currently in the market for some PSS9s i think.

have you not got a haldex controller w/switch too?

nigp007 · 7th September 2009, 01:53 PM

What about the wing mirrors......

R32Dom · 7th September 2009, 01:55 PM

Hmm Haldex...

Would be suprised if VW would take the car back modified so you would prob have to sell...
Shame as she's sweet!

Rupo · 7th September 2009, 01:59 PM

yeh, its all got to go eventually, everything in the sig. Whoever buys will have to pay labour to have it removed though so to have all that taken off and then give me £1000 is probably going to cost the new owner a fair bit more in labour.

As I bought the car from VW modded they dont mind it going back in the same state. bonnet might be an issue but I can get rid of that easy.

DWolfUK · 7th September 2009, 02:01 PM

would it be worth you getting a quote from ed @ aps for the removal labour costs?

Rupo · 7th September 2009, 03:15 PM

yeh, I got a quote from vagtech. Think I would need some parts too as I dont have the original pieces, ie, suspension and zorst.and cams.

r0ss · 7th September 2009, 04:41 PM

What ya looking at replacing it for mate?

Rupo · 7th September 2009, 04:45 PM

duno yet, some exotica. My next car needs to be something that will take advantage of my 'zero commitments' situation. Possibley an Atom..

MrPompey · 7th September 2009, 04:46 PM

Why not sell the car private as is instead

xjkx · 7th September 2009, 05:11 PM

now we're talking resale values in a round about way!!

surely private would be worth more to you?

what was the bhp readout after cams and fuel inlet etc?

Really cant deal with private sales, don think I get much more anyway. Finance outstanding = about £13000, so I would need about £14000 at least for it in a private sale. Which aint gona happen.

As it is I can sell the mods, hopefully get £1000 for them and just hand the keys back to VW.

BHP is 270. not sure what the mods would read on a newer car though. Dave fish is running 264 from a milltek and intake!

Rupo, we all know how bad you are in the .:R You'd kill yourself in an Atom, they are stupid quick!

Definately a car you'd want though after going out in one, I'd love one after my ride in an Atom 2 275!

Anakin · 7th September 2009, 06:33 PM

Hmm I might be in the Market for some of the bits off your car.
I have Std suspension ARB's and Cat back Exaust and Wheels sitting in my Garage as well maybe we can do a swap, (all the parts have 4000 miles or Less on them)

MrPompey · 7th September 2009, 07:33 PM

If VW take the car back will you owe them / finance company anything.

Whats the reg / condition / mileage etc? Have a look on autotrader and see what price they are selling for similar to your age / mileage etc. The hassle of selling private must be worth it if you get more money?

No wont owe them anything, paid off 50% of the car so I can hand it back.

Mines a 55pplate with 36k miles, fairly low end spec, no recaros, satnav etc.

Really dont think Id get the extra cash and then Id have to settle the finance myself.

Haha! this is true, but this could be my only chance to own one. Nothings definate yet, just wanted to know if I should strip it before it goes back to vw.

Seems the consensus is that I should.

modifiedmadness · 7th September 2009, 08:52 PM

It's deffo worth stripping bits off, my bro done it with his bike - got rid of it to a shop so sold the bits off.

Have you ever been out in an Atom?

If not, get yourself on the Atom Club forum and get a ride in one. You will definately want one then!

xjkx · 7th September 2009, 09:25 PM
