Surely that one couldn't have been working.

According to CS all the power would have went to the front wheels then it would have crashed and blown up.

What coilovers has it got? You will get penuts for 5y/o coilovers unless they are eibach or KWs. Wheels won't fetch much either if they need work, probably get the same or more for standard wheels!

Yeah I know I won't be getting much at all for the bits which is the other thing but I do think taking them off will make the car more saleable so wasn't doing it to make more cash really.

They are kw variant 1's I think, so not going to be worth a great deal as I think you can get a set for £500 or so?

DPM have them at £600, so I would say with that age on them, probably around £150. It seems a lot of peoples coilovers are failing round 3-5years old depending on make

id say the car will sell for the same amount modded or not. if youcan get £150 for coilovers and another couple of hundred for the rims its a no brainer.

Wheels (LMs and standard) are worth about the same.

If you put this up for an average price as it is on Edition38 and AudiSport, it will sell quickly.

Couldnt sell my corsa for £1000 modded.
So stripped it and traded it in for £500 standard and sold parts for about £1.5k.
Nice cars so id sell standard and sell parts off separately

Still not sorted it, need to swap wheels. Get it ready for sale then I'll sort a price.

I'm surprised at how much they seem to be worth, similar age/spec/mileage are going for £6-7.5k.. It will be reasonably priced just need to make some comparisons.

Hi John, do you think that is over priced at all?
