Possibly economically repairable if the buyer has the right skills or contacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfirstboxster Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Sad to say it could soon turn into a money pit , notice the number plates have been taken off , can't check MOT history and mileage , strange how the door airbag went off but not the steering wheel one ?

McDonald Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Completely understandable - a weather-related misadventure . Very odd that the logbook and history have been discarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

½cwt Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 But if anyone buys it to break it I'll have the face lift blue hood with glass screen.... If I had space and a trailer I'd even consider breaking it myself. Engine and 'box have got to be worth £1500 and then all the interior parts as well.

Definitely a breaker, was looking quite repairable until I saw near side rear wing, but at 1k or less you would easily double your money, broken up.

Lots are enquiring as to docs etc, when you purchase a salvage vehicle, you do not get a V5 or any paperwork pretty much 100% of the time. This 986 did not go through Copart or ASM as I would have seen it and it has a clean title. Engine is circa 3k ECU set circa 1k There is big money in salvage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine the selling of parts can be a PITA at times though having to deal with ebay, fees, posting, etc etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I use is first class and will completely strip a 986 in one day when the shell is then taken to scrap. The engine and box is removed in under 2 hours and are usually sold to Europe for 2-3k. He can remove an exhaust in less than 20 minutes. Yes, the listing and storage is the hard bit, Steve Strange as an example has been going for 20 years and when I spoke to him last week, he had 1040 986's in stock.

½cwt Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I ahve broke a car once and made more money than I was offered as a rolling car with a broken engine. It does take time and patience but I got 60% more than the complete car offer for it over about 3 months. Alas I no longer have a nice double garage to do something like that again.

Easy tiger you are in the trade section so this information is on a strictly need-to-know basis. You can tell the trade guys as they all contribute to the forum, you know to put something back for the invaluable support and help they have received so they are 'Site Contributors' Can you tell I hate the trade clique You have to remember the trade guys need to protect their little clique otherwise it will impact on their ability to control the market. Been exposed to it my whole life from Motor Factors 40 years ago to Plumbers Merchants where you are made to feel unwelcome and just know you are not getting your full discount. If there is something in particular you are after just post it up and there will be plenty of help forthcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
