    Default VN - Selling In Parts Query

    Hey hows it going,
    As you are all aware i am selling my VN Calais 5L in parts.
    I am just curious as to what are the main things what should sell pretty easily and for what price roughly ?

    If anyone could give me an idea on what sells and what doesnt sell easily that would be great thanks.

    motor and tranny $1500-$2000 depending on condition. (add 500 bucks if its a T5 manual)
    BUT if its a manual - recommend selling the motor and box seperate. motor for $1000-$1500 depending on condition and the gearbox as a conversion including pedalbox, tailshaft and interior pieces and so forth.
    seats and door trims - $200-$500 depending on condition.
    instrument cluster - $100-$150 depending on kilomteres.
    steering wheel - $60 depending on condition.
    electric windows (sold as a lot, including switches and motors) - $200
    non-ls diff - $150 axle to axle including brakes and discs for non-lsd.
    ls diff - $500 axle to axle including brakes and discs

    there's your main money earners when wrecking a calais, panelwise theres about an extra $700-$800 to be had on your body.
    guards - $40-$60 each
    bonnet - $50
    boot garnish - $15
    doors - $30 each
    headlights - $60-$100 (always sell these as pairs)
    indicators - $30 for the pair (always sell these as pairs)
    mag wheels - calais rims in good nick fetch about $400 with rubber


    ***its a GUIDE only*** totally depends WHO buys this stuff, WHERE you sell it, and HOW BAD somebody wants some of these parts.......

    if its a manual 5L $you would only probably get $3500 for the motor,5 spd,pedal box,console,shift(usually included with gearbox )
    mirrors sell quickly
    bumpers in good nick
    bonnets and doors
    tinted glass,buyers don't worry too much about front and rear as they will get them done by installers,mainly after side glass,door windows
    mags and tyres
    radiators
    thats usually the fast moving parts above.
    you will over time sell whats left on the vehicle as the word is proboably around that you have a shed full of spares,and people will see if you have this and that,the slower moving parts over time
