Selling or parting out?

[bxlheathsupra]

What do you think is more economical?
Im in two minds due to lack of use of my dc5 to sell it or split for parts. I have driven 2 miles in the past 3 weeks!
And cycle most of the time now so its playing on my mind as to if its really needed.

I‘ll give you a word of warning mate started mine in September and have still got

The engine
Seats
90% of the interior plastics
Headlining
Doors
Glass
Rear brakes
Spoon springs (although quite rusty)
Mugen shocks (again got a bit of rust on them)
Private plate (dc51vtc)
Dashboard
Clocks
Shell


And countless other bits still hanging round, I haven‘t put loads of effort into selling them though 🙄😂

Dealing with the postage is a massive pita as well

Hi mate, what's the reason for breaking it, have you crashed it or something?

Would be a shame to break it but again I don't know the reasons for this.

That is mental, can't believe you've still got all those parts especially the engine.

No is in fully functional condition, just thought due to the market of these cars parts would be more desirable and possibly sell easier then a whole car?
To be honest ive just seen the veilaide bonnet for sale which ticks my boxes! Hence my confuaion as to what i really want to do.. do i have a really good looking sorted car sat outside that never moves or just sell and use the money elsewhere

The one thing I can add to this is a lack of use brings such thoughts, been there countless times throughout my cars restoration project as I just don‘t use it ever. But now when I do it‘s where Honda intended and I then remember why I bought it and have kept it.

I believe it was John Green that said to me once “ the less you use it the less you‘ll appreciate it and love it “

This is very true but when I sell up I‘d prob get more by returning it to oem and selling all parts separately which is why I kept every part I‘ve removed.

I know you tracked yours and know how fun they are so it all depends on your wants and needs from a car, there will always be certain parts that will sell quickly and others that wont unfortunately

Crazy ain‘t it mate I think £1k for a k20a with all the ancillaries that run off the aux belt is a bargain imo

How much have you made so far then Daz? Reckon you'd have made more just selling the car cheaper too?

I‘ve done about £3.5-4K off it up to yet and reckon there‘s another £3.5k left in it so with all the hassle I wish I‘d hung out and sold it in 1 but you live and learn 😂

I generally get rid of a whole car in 6 weeks. Done 2 write off breakers this year and have minimal left.

Price things sensible and they'll sell fast.

To be honest John I‘ve had a nightmare couple of months and haven‘t had time to put the effort into advertising the bits properly I‘ll do another ad soon with all the parts I‘ve got left and actually put a bit of effort into getting them shifted

Most people come to me on Facebook mate. Send me a friend request and I'll get rid of a load for you. Engine, box, brakes, seats etc generally go silly fast for me.
