And that applies in particular to completely parting out a wrecked.POS car, which I have done numerous times.. it looks profitable on paper.. but that's about the only place it looks that way!
(It's really just more of an excuse to get out the 10" sawzall blades,
cutting torch and sledgehammer!)

Re: NPC - Value of 96 NA
"doing this usually is more work than it's worth! :)"
Certainly true when one decides to sell! I'm keeping my FI 95 "forever"
though....

he gets to learn all on his own. I'd be sad if I deprived him of learning
that doing this usually is more work than it's worth! :)

Re: NPC - Value of 96
NA
It's true. I fancy myself as able to turn a wrench, but I have a 96 I'm
removing everything from first because I figure it's worth more
separately. I'm betting that most potential buyers of my 96 would prefer
it without the "rough" suspension and "loud" intake and exhaust.
Consequently I'm more likely to sell those very parts for more to an
enthusiast.

From the way you describe it, Wally, this sounds like a car of dodgy
quality kept by someone who doesn't know how to turn a wrench. There's no
way you convince someone to pay more for a car given that, no matter what
mods are on it. Mods NEVER bring more money on a car that's not cherry (I
really don't believe they're worth much period--you just never know how
well they were implemented).

Pretty sad the state of resale on modified car (in general)...Casey's car
is the same way, it should be worth significantly more than that but..
what can you do, I guess.
