Best option for a damaged clio?

[Lewb]

Looks like my clio is written off from a 30 mph crash :dapprove: gutted doesn't cover it.

Just wondering what my best options fincancially are really, splitting it or trying to sell for someone who will repair it themselves?

It mainly needs a new wing, bumper, seat / airbag, 2 new wheels and the back axle replacing. Back headlights cracked too but still functional.

I don't know much about it but I think the parts will be cheap but alot of labour in fixing it so yea, I think it will be a write off.

Its about 600-700 in parts probably the cheapest including labour would be just over 1000? Either way I need to know whats best to do with the car to make the most money, is there a market for lightly damaged cars?

I wouldn't buy a damaged and repaired car tbh.

If you broke it you may make a bit.

Theres barely even any damage to it but being fussy id want the bodywork perfect again.

I wouldn't go through insurance and im already losing 2k, another 3k on a turbo isnt really viable :dapprove:

 

[jordan172]

how much do you want for it? roughly?

I might want the drive shafts and suspension and all the wishbones and all the gubins

If the car was undamaged i'd expect around 3800 for it, 37k miles with FSH and belts done, very good condition apart from the obvious.

I have no idea what its worth now but I suppose a mechanically minded person could make a bit of money on it.

 

[Hutchie]

its worth 500 quid now...

cash waiting

Gunna fix the sump and then see if anything on the engine is knocking now, deciding what to do with the car after then. May still end up being sold as a salvage car though. Shame to see this happening to this car - was in absolutely mint condition, 3k miles only 2 owners from new (both ex police).
