thinking of bidding on this but first need your opinions on how much it will cost to fix it, need new doors, the guarter panel is damaged, front wing, need a new wheel. thnx

HBC On Line Auctions

 

It'd need to be very cheap, it looks like an early car that had the 98 face lift done to it, (slanty intercooler)..... it'll clearly need a apir of doors, rear quarter sorting, wheel, suspension re-alignment at the very least.... painting and refitting...... so quite a game..... for a car that would be worth no more than maybe 3 grand when it was finished.....

It might be slightly different if it was at least an STI... but a mere WRX...???

 

The interior pic shows a sheared brake disc in the foot well, so I expect it's had a really good whack on the wheel!!!

 

Thats a bit big for a brake disc Iain.....!

 

I wouldnt pay nomore than £1250 for it,
it may look ok but you have to consider:
*repair costs (paint the whole side, 2 doors, repair rear 1/4, front suspension)£600-£800 ish
*replacing damaged missing front alloy (who knows what make/cost)
*possible CAT converter damage (forklifts used in salvage yards)
*Car is cat 'C' damaged meening it needs a vic check(£36) then is noted on the v5 logbook car has been substantially repaired. Afecting resale value.

Try importing one you can pick up wrx's sti's of the same age that are not damaged for the same kinda price landed in the uk, just £135 to register it.

 

thnks for the help guys, im not gonna bother with it, how can i import one, any links perky?

 

have you looked here for a salvage car Euro Auto Salvage Ltd - Used and Salvage Subaru, Toyota, Mitsubishi and Honda

 

Ron,
Errrr..... it is a brake disc!!


A wise choice leaving it I think
