Mk2 Golf Chat / Car accident damaged, what's it worth to sell on as a project?
Damage was a rear ender, boot floor is a tiny bit bent so it was declared a total loss. New rear panel, new bumper and knocking the dents out the boot floor and hatch and it'd be right as rain again. Boot will shut once the bodywork guy does his magic on it (quoted around £100 to get it like that) so it should pass an MOT in it's current state but obviously it would still have a CAT N on it.
In terms of running it run's like a champ and it's never really given me any grief other than being a bit thirsty. Tyres are all fairly new maxxis ap2's, alloys are a bit scuffed but the paintwork is mostly there save a bit of flake at the top of the passenger side doors. I've replaced most of the brake pipes as well as the discs, drums, pads, shoes and hardware since owning it as well so it stops on a dime.
Tiny bit of corrosion on the passenger side sill and rear arch. I don't really want to keep it, money and all that I'm in the process of moving house with all sorts of extra costs bleeding me dry so I was thinking of going back to just having motorbikes for a while.
Only question is how much would I even ask for it? Not sure what an accident damaged running project would go for, not a clue. Was quoted £2750 value pre accident and I tend to agree with that figure (obviously worth less now). As a running project for someone who isn't scared of bodywork it could be a great daily or a nice little earner.
(only picture I have, car is still at the garage)
