Write off - buy back?

[scott.mohekey]

So my VR4 has been declared a write off.. the engine looks in good condition and was running after the crash, and the rest of the car looks fine. Should I bother buying it back and parting it out? Would anyone be interested in any of the parts?

[taupodrifta]

if the price you can buy it back for is worth it i would. no doubt you will recover your money pretty easy if they dont want to much for it

[scott.mohekey]

Yeah, that's kinda where I'm leaning at the moment. It all comes down to price really. There's a few parts on it that I want to get for myself, but there's nothing really all that expensive to replace.

[taupodrifta]

well depending on how much they want surely engine diff gearbox etc would cover the costs? well you would wanna hope so anyways

[scott.mohekey]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I've parted out a vr4 before and made money back on it.

how much are they asking for it?? if your clever youll offer 500 and theyl accept it,if you dont buy,let me know i may be keen

[scott.mohekey]

I don't know what they're after yet. All I know is it was insured for $5700 and repair costs would have been $5000. If I offer $500 and they don't take it, can I make a new offer?

If you did get it Q, would I be able to grab a few things off it first? (pair of gauges, boost controller solenoid etc).

[VR4WGN]

afaik they would accept your offer,as they have always in the past with offers i made on buy back options.less paper work for thrm... um at this stage the car will be sold as is but it is a discussable option later,SHOULD i buy it ho....

Oh yeah,if it's a good price,you should be able to make some money parting it out!

[VR4WGN]

was it manual man?? and still driveable?

[scott.mohekey]

Auto. Needs a radiator, and intercooler.
