Turbo '86 part-out vs trade in

Recommended Posts

Hi all, 

Sad to say but i'm considering parting ways with the 2012 '86. 

I've got an AVO stage 3 + OP + FP (fensport), MeisterR ZetaCRD+ coilovers, vordoven wheels and yoko v105 tyres. Original parts in the shed.

The only thing that i dont have is original wheels and tyres, which i could probs pick up for 150+.

My question is would it be worth the labour cost of removing the parts to sell them separately and buying stock rims used?

My option is either sell at dealer as is vs part-out and sell the bits. Does anyone have experience selling to a dealer and them giving extra value for the mods? Any dealer who specialises perhaps? This is fairly time sensitive, have taken new job(s) that i will be fairly busy with and I cba to patiently wait for a buyer (unless someone is in urgent need for a turbo 2012 automatic 86 lol). Educated opinions please.

Will potentially go M2+Ohlins or Carrera next.

It's been a fun ride my dudes!

Tim

You definitely won't get more money from a dealer for the mods. You're always going to get more money for the mods after parting out, and then a standard price for the car.

But the cost of a part-out must be in the region of 1k at least. Thoughts?

If you do the work yourself the cost is zero. If you can’t & you need to pay someone to do it somewhere around 1k is about right.

Aware of this. Wont be doing the work myself.

Say 2.5k for turbo and 600 for other mods, -1000 for part out leaves me with 2.1k roughly.

Is any dealer likely to pay out extra 2k for coilovers/avo stage 3 turbo+intercooler etc/rims? Has anyone tried before?

There was a trader selling a modified car a while back maybe worth searching it/them out and see if they are interested but as said I think part out is the best option.

Do most dealers just decline to take in modified cars then?

No, they buy them for standard price, part them out and then sell as stock.

They are more inclined to offer less than a standard car as a modified car narrows the market for them to sell on.

You will certainly get more for it selling as is via forums like these to like minded individuals or parting out and trading in a stock car.

Part-out incoming. Someone's getting a cheap AVO Stage 3/ZetaCRD+ Coils & all red valenti's. :ph34r:
