Not true. If you play your cards right and the rest of the car is in good condition you could get a fair bit back.

220 is on the high side, but still have plenty left if has been maintained.

If you hold onto the crap and people need it

Well yes. Even Sierra parts don't sell instantly.

Give him 600

1500 is there bottom dollar i think. surely the panels gear box and powersteering would be worth something

[Jester]

also is it the G16 or j18 motor?

[zammit]

I got a 2001 with 80,000km and only damage on the front left wishbone/cv e.t.c. and bumper from the auctions for $800.

It cost me about $1,050 or so by the time I paid GST and freight. You can do better than what you're looking at, just look harder and longer.

Baleno's are worth SFA ....
I bought one ex auctions for $300 with sub 100,000 km on it (2000 model with coilpacks).
Swinging panels are all perfect as was the interior but nobody wanted ANY of it.
I got a good motor and loom and the rest is scrap. Goes monday morning actually..

I was wondering if I'd been able to get it cheaper if I turned up, I had to put in an absentee bid, they explained that it starts at the reserve and goes up as someone bids against you, like ebay e.t.c.

I got it for the max i'd put down... I asked for a bid history and sure enough, they don't supply one...

So basically go there and make sure you're getting it as cheap as possible, yes I'm still happy as I feel I got a bargain for what I got, even though as want33's says if you're lucky you can get them cheaper again.

Took me ages to find one up here that was/is suitable though, and even then it's an auto, had a walking stick in it too and all the paperwork so I doubt it's seen the hardest point in its life yet :p
