STI with no engine. trying to sell!
 

My dad owns a body shop and was given the car pictured below to work on, they guy wanted the bonnet and the the rear wing sprayed. So my old man did it for the guy but he never payed so after chasing the guy for the money since november! he's going to sell his car :lol1: the guy is fine with it so now my dad want rid of it. I'm not trying to flog it on here I'm just interested to see how much I should expect to get for it. It's missing an engine, front bumper and headlights, rear bumper and no alloy wheels. I presume it's a genuine STI rolling shell. Here's some pics...

Regards in advance :thumb:

its probably worth about £1000, if its a clean shell, no damage, and rust free.

Yeah it's all in good condition I was really suprised when I saw it today. What do I need to look for to see if it is an actual STI. Any plates stamped on the body etc?

Imo £1000 is way over priced. You can pick up a clean typeR shell for that sort of money. I would say £600 max, depending what you sell with it.

What I sell with it? Just everything you can see I presume the gearbox and is there but will have to check

Under the bonnet there will be a silver ID plate take a picture of that and get it on here, and we can tell you hopefully exactly what you've got.

As for the price, I'd say around £600 is more realistic also, seen them on ebay at that price anyway.

Scrap value without a V5 ?

dunx

P.S. Get him to sign it over, and then you might get £500 ?

No V5 as of yet, Might take a little while going through the DVLA to get a new one :( if that's possible???

Surely if the real owner is happy with you selling it then he will give you the V5?

To be honest, if he is just letting you have the car to pay for paint work you have done i would be seriously suspicious. Before you do anything i would make sure its not stolen.

That's the problem we currently have. I havnt HPI checked it yet. But he doesn't want us to sell it. But it's been in our possession for over a year now! And he keeps coming up with excuses for not paying. We had contacted all the legal people and now the car is legally ours. It's a toughy. All because this guy didn't wanna come up with £300. Tbh I reckon he just wanted free storage for it.

also looks like an import too, maybe harder to trace ?????

Where are the parts that are not on the car then mate?

In possession of the previous owner unfortunately

Apply for the V5 once you have that it's going to be easier to sell

you have a pm

PM'd

Hey guys, what kind of prices am I looking if I strip it for parts? all panals are in great condition

scrap that idea. This needs to go offers very welcome!

you have pm mate

Replied

Interested. Any luck on a V5 yet though?

Apparently you can't register a car with no engine and the guy will not give us the V5.

Do you have the registration?

Find that out on Monday hopefully :)

V5 or the small claims court... threat may be enough ?

dunx

P.S. Plus a charge for storage, and also disposal...

Problem is we don't have his address only a name and number. Grrr

be very careful disposing of property as i 'believe' you are only legally allowed to go this route after 12 months!!!

The property is not "lost" and someone has legal title over the item so you can't actually sell it. You cannot sell something you do not "own".

Is it a landline number you have for the guy ??

Is the owner fine about you selling it or not:wonder:

Nope, but he has no choice now.
