Breaking a Jimny...

Many people on here done it?

How much are you likely to make from breaking one?

if you do, i want a passenger door handle. thanks andy.

ha ha I will keep you in mind... its not something i have ever done before and dont even know if i would have the room to do it. Just wondering if it would be worth more in bits?

After a certain age all cars are worth more in the sum of parts than as a whole, even if scrapped. The biggest problem is that you can wait forever to get your money back. You could strip everything off it and weigh in the shell and sell each bit or leave it and take bits off as you need to.
I've thought about it myself, buying a crashed jimny and keeping what i want and expensive parts for the future sensors etc, then sell the rest to at least break even. I just can't be bothered with the moeny drip feeding in.

You will very likely sell the engine, gearbox and front axle quickly, and then get stuck with the rest.

When I sold the Range Rover, I could have got more for the tailgate, axles and gearbox than I actually did for the whole car with an MOT :blink:

Then I'd have been stuck with a mess and disposing of the carcass.

Depends what you pay for it as to wether its worthwhile, i paid £800, sold both axles and rad for £135 ,
engine for £175, spotlights for £50, and little bits and bobs, think i sold you something maybe?
still got bumpers (havent decided to sell them or not), gearbox, t-box and the interior, body and chassis but i need them for my project.
