Easier/quicker to sell it complete, especially if you need the cash ASAP.

Thrash the tits off of it, stack it, write it off and claim the insurance, buy the wreck off the insurance company and sell it in pieces...

But, if you had a genuine crash then it wouldn't be fraud

Attempt a roundabout at say, 100mph? Errr.... Second thoughts my idea is slightly dangerous, I wouldn't recomend it.

the sad fact is, to get the most back from the car, it has to be broken up and let the vultures pic at it

i think its just the right person coming along at the right time , selling cars is a pain in the fucking ring, you get people saying they want it then fuck you about ect.

i know you wont like to hear it but end of day theres a limit on what anyone will pay for an old corsa b, as most people will prefer to invest thier money into a newer car . its shit but its true.
