911

Not sure if this is the right place/section to ask, but:

I'm asking those who had a tuned Impreza to sell, did you sell or revert the car to stock and sell the goodies to make the return?

I have a got-at Sti v3 that is not worth much stock, and nobody buys a modified car all ready to fly, but I might realise more if I break it?

Some thoughts please from those who have been there.

Thanks, Graham.

Graham, is this your own car your hill climb in??


If it was me i`d break it for sure, i did this with a cossie i had and made more than i would of if i`d of straight sold it, can be a bit of a ball ache breaking though, but worth it imo....

I would guesstimate that 75%+ of modded cars sold have ended up being put back to standard when I have seen them up for sale, parts being sold separately.

p.s. If your selling to go chasing that Audi V8 then I hope u have deep pockets

911

Thanks for the advice.
There is no point chasing the Audi.
I'm fed-up chasing cars in the hot saloon class, don't have the budget or the conviction anymore.
Thinking more along the 'special' route.
Need about 8K to do it, hence this question.
Thanks, Graham

Strip it and sell it std, thats what I did with mine and made more money from the parts than I did with the car, well almost

Glad I kept all the stock parts now!

you are never gonna get £8k for a your sti3 !!!

RON

True, BUT he'll get quite close if he sells the bits seperately, AND that old 911 gearbox thats sat in the garage doing nothing!!

but he doesnt have that much to sell. no disrespect that is worth lots of cash !! plus a sti3 aint worth what they used to be !!

LOL!

My bedroom is a right mess, full exhaust system, TMIC

p.s. If your serious in selling it, no harm in the first instance putting it up for sale as it is as you never know, someone wanting to get into hillclimbing it would make an ideal car to buy and just go!

911

Exactly:
Stock Sti V3 = about £4K
Bits about 3K tops
911 gearbox? about £1.5K

Car I want ready to race? about 4K tops from the States, trailer, about 1K

Loss? about £14K....

Tis a good time to buy from the States Graham.... what with the $ being the way it is at present....!! i'm off for 3 weeks a week tomorrow...!!
