jhoneyman Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I crashed/rolled my wife's BRZ (2014 plate LUX edition)Car had just been detailed for 3 days prior so gutted as was a perfect example with not a mark in and out.The insurance didn't pay out as I was only 3rd party so a sore one financially. What are my chances of shifting the car as a complete unit (It still drives as the engine and running gear were unaffected) The main issue is the roof as that was damaged (Hence it being written off) What are my options? Strip it/repair it/sell it? Opinions are appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 ouch, not good news. If you have room to break it prob get more breaking it, but will take a while to do it and for the parts to sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoneyman Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 I do have room to do that. What parts are higher value/sought after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Anything tbh, there pretty rare so anyone looking for spares will be interested. Usual is engine and gearbox though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 yup engine / gearbox - seats may be transferable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 what is the rear drive train / diff - that may have some appeal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoneyman Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 it is a limited-slip dif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoneyman Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Im thinking: Engine/Gear box 3K Seats and Trim £500 Rear Diff £200 Others 1.5K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmymac101 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 You will deffo be able to sell this whole! When i smashed up my ignis sport it was only worth about £1500 ( if that ) with the modifications and i flogged it on to hill climb driver for £700 after a head on smash at 70mph! Get it on gumtree, eBay ect ect and google to see if theres any brz racing teams that may be interested :) James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'd try shift it as a whole unit but think like most things Subaru it's the parts that hold the huge value. Gutted to hear it's been written off though not seen many BRZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless she’s exceedingly understanding, I expect that you’re looking for a new wife as well 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
