Default MINT 340 bhp STI V5.....BIG END GONE!!!

Ok, i'm going to try and sell the car as is at the mo with the big ends gone but if i get no luck then i will break the car as i will get back over 6K for the car.

The car is an ex graham goode owned car and has very low mileage at just 55,000. It's mot'd till march 09 and tax till end of october. Has a toad alarm/imob and a tracker, the car has had loads spent on it and the condition of the car is excellent. The car was pushing out 340bhp.

The car has a very good spec and this year alone has had a new gearbox, new clutch, lightend fly wheel and new diffs all fitted by scooby clinic costing around 3K and have the reciepts for all this. Also it had the brembo brakes fitted with brand new performance friction 326mm discs about 2 months ago at a cost of £1200, receipts for this also. The turbo is a graham goode hybrid VF29 which costs £1600. this car has a high spec and to the right person could be an easy fix and you will have a mint STI V5

I'm looking for £4000 for the car as is.

the spec of the car is as follows

STI V5 in Royal Silver

If it's worth over £6k if you break it why are you selling for £4k?

Have you thought about claiming for repair with your insurance company?

Yes. I take it you have no mechanical insurance. IIRC I have seen people trying to claim off their normal insurance for mechanical failuers that would in effect write the car off, but I don't know what the outcomes were. It's worth flicking through your policy and finding out, even call them. It won't cost anything and they might pay out.

I've just broke a mk3 gti Golf 16v on my drive after extensive fire damage. It took a few weeks but I managed to not lose anything in the end.
