What should I do???

I have a 2001 '51' 180 hatch which is broken with clutch hydraulics! It's a bit tatty with 125k miles (although engine is supposed to of only covered 65k). I've since bought a newer better condition 180 as i'm hooked but now have a decision to make!

Do I fix it and sell on but whats it gonna be worth in todays market?

Or, do I strip it for parts and sell them? (thinking this is the best route!)

Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome

Cheers

Brett

Phate is an unknown quantity at this point
Hey Brett,

First off, well done for buying another 180! You can have a biscuit for that!

Secondly, strip the thing. In most cases you will always get more money back selling bits.

What's it worth as is?

In an ideal world I'd like a 180 hatch for track use, so all trim, glass, seats, a/c, pas etc is redundant.

Yeah had to get the new one it in very good nick lower mileage has had £1100 worth of work done (belts,service etc) in the last few months. There are a few bits i'd like to keep hold of though! its handy the 2 cars are identical colour and trim!

Not sure what it would be worth as is I would guess not alot to be honest!
