Anyone ever part out??

SATX_E46 · 08-30-2012, 03:51 PM

Thinking about buying my car back from the insurance company for about 1400, it's a 328ci 2000, with 80k miles, interior was near mint, style 68 wheels with new tires in mint condition, motor, trans, runs good always serviced. Hood, bumper, fenders, radiator trashed, rest of car mint.

So what I'm asking is you think I would make my money back??

Buy it back and fix it up with the money you get...another option.

Guys part out all the time here...see the 'parting out' subforum

Fixing it up is not the route I wanna go, already made profit on the vehicle so with the check, upgrading a few years sounds like a better option

really doesnt look that bad, my friend repairs cars for a living that are in much worse out condition than that and ive helped and its really not to bad, just sometimes time consuming and parts are easy to source to id do it.... upgrade the steering wheel while your in there.

I'd rather shell out for some sort of freight shipping if the price is good enough and if my 330i can accept the 5MT from the 328ci.
