Well, I am thinking of parting our my 2002MCS. It was totalled, hit HARD in the back. I have alot of mods that I am thinking about buying the salvage and taking them off. I am wondering if there will be a market for other items to make it worth my while.

What do you think?

 

Depends how much they want for salvage, if you have room to store it, the value of the mods you have, and what your time is worth.
Sometimes insurance will let you pull off non-stock parts, as long as you replace them with the stock parts.

 

Depending on what you have and how many mods you've got I would say its worth it.

 

If it was hit in the back there could be LOTS of things you could strip off the car and sell. Depending on how much they want for it and how much time you are willing to put in you could make some good money.

 

time is the main thing. it might take a while before you sell most of the parts on the car. patience is key. im sure lots of people may want to buy stock parts. and of course like others said. you definitely need space to leave it.
before my mini, i had a 2000 civic si. and in blue. it was totalled and i bought it back. but i didnt have the time and place to leave it. so i just sold it locally for a little more than i bought it back for...hehehe

 

If the rear is toast, that would imply the whole drivetrain is still good, right? That's pretty valuable right there. Also if the airbags didn't pop, those are worth good money too.

 

I would buy the front and rear headrests if possible!!

 

I would take the door panels (interior) off your hands Maybe even the down-tubes

 

id take the dash

 

I'll take the motor.....Where are you located?

 

I promise to pm everybody who has shown interest as soon as I am sure what I am doing. Been kind of busy today going to a neuroligist due to the wreck. Looks like I am going to be ok though.

ONe answer for everyone is I am in Greenville, NC thats NORTH CAROLINA every body always thinks South Carolina

 

Oo oo oo...I'll take the mirror caps, and the switch for the overhead light, and probably some other little pieces. You can make bank on your car parting it out here, and on eBay. Let us know!!!

 

Consider if you can easily dispose of whatever's left once you strip and sell, whether you have time/space/expertise to get all that stuff off the shell, etc. I'm sure it'd be worth it - after all, that's what salvage yards do - but consider what your time and hassle factors are worth...

 

lets see some pics, get an idea of whats good to keep.

 

the motor / long block is worth some good bread . good for sending to the old one .

 

Do you have 3 spoke MFSW????
sell with airbag-howmuch??

 

I am in need of a glove box let me know.

I may be interesten in the whole thing

Check to see what your buyback is and if you really want to part ...... or make one quick turn around sale


Thanks

 

I could use the rear (left and right) plastic fender/wheel well liners.
Keep us up to date.
Thanks

 

Those were destroyed.

Ouch, sorry about your Mini. Hope you are ok.

Im curious, what mods are there to be scavenged? Engine? Suspension? Just stock stuff?

If you do buy it back, I'd be interested in the light assembly in the headliner.
