    Default What to do the car or parts!

    I'm thinking about selling my baby vc soon i know!

    but i have my reasons...

    anywayz ive had thoughts of selling the car whole, but some ppl says i should sell it for parts.. would parts for a car like this go fast? and if so suggestions on where to sell the parts?

    the local wreckers wants peanuts for my ride! not enough peanuts for me, but it's a last resort...

    i reckon with selling it for parts you would get less, especially with a good condition VC.

    i just figured all the hours work he put into it that the price might of been a bit higher, and from what ive seen it is a nice clean looker for its age.

    Depends how much room u have mate and how qwik u need the coin. If u sell the thing as a whole u would get less money, but then u don't have to worry bout it anymore. If u sell it for parts u might sell a few bits and pieces every few weeks and still be left with the majority of it a few months down the track.

    But u could also sell the most expensive parts on it, then either sell the rest to the wreckers for peanuts or take it to the scrap man for a few dollars. But personally I wouldn't take it to the wreckers or scrap man if it's still a straight body....I've made the mistake of stuffing up 2 good straight bodies and I regret it now....even tho they're everywhere...I just don't like getting rid of stuff unless it's totally useless lol.

    But yeah if ur looking to just move onto something different, I'd just sell the whole car as a whole. As ya don't want much for it, some school kid would prolly love it as a first car.

    And don't sell it to PEAKN6......we already have 5 older Commodores out the back

    Yeah i hear ya, i brought her for around the same price when i found her, but shes needs like a few service crap like wheel alignment and 1 front tyer and new seat belts! which make me think about the extra cost, if it didnt have that id jack up the price..

    Yeah to many hours into her, shes got my blood i swear the wrecker said the same thing about it being nice and clean for its age.. i got a friend putting a notice on at work to see if any of the young lads wants it, as a few ride bikes lol! If i could keep her i would.. kinda starting to make me think of pricing on a storage shed rental lol!

    I hear ya! though a wheel alignment would make it suitable for long distance driving , Haha i got 7 cars in my yard, lol kinda another reson why i have to sell her..
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Overall im going to sell her whole for now and the person must have a liecence! muahahah

    Ill put the hours in my the vc's young sister, probley more cash lol! i won't depart with this one either!

    shame you're selling up, from what Ive seen you've put quite a bit of work into that car, I couldnt bear to part with my VK now for that very reason...

    I'm sure you have your reasons, I guess if you sell it whole, try and make sure it goes to a good home.
