Part out of wrx querie

[AdamOst]

So with the potential that my car is going to be too expensive to fix would it be worth looking at parting it out instead. The interior is pretty mint minus one door card, exterior minus the damaged rear/front guard, spoiler and end caps are fine, front bumper/lip is fine though could do witha respray, gearbox is mint except for that common jumping out of 5th gear issue, has aftermarket 2.5inch tbe, difs and all that seem fine, zerosports splitter/difuser/sti genome gauge set, 17inch gold wheels with 3mm tires.

Is there much to be gained from parting it out/can someone give me a rough idea on what I might get?

I don\'t really see much point. You may aswell just get it running and sell it.

what ECU is in it? If you\'ve got a J2, I\'ll take it off your hands

But seriously: FIX YOUR CAR AND KEEP IT!

you have a v6. Fix the dam thing and enjoy life. Those things are soooo hard to find now.

Thankfully the front lip/rear spoiler are still mint since its impossible to find them for a reasonable price because of lowly WRX and earlier model STI\'s pinching all of them...

If you decide to part out I\'ll take the gauges off your hands :

But yeah, parting out is last resort, itll come down to cost. Car is worth maybe 10k all fixed up? less 5kish for the engine rebuild/swap and a couple of grand in exterior damage, starts getting close to not worth repairing.

I was in an identical situation last year and chose to part it out. After getting sick of it taking up the entire garage I sold it for peanuts with most of the stuff still on it.

Unless your willing to sell parts for dirt cheap expect it to take a while.

fix it - keep it.

But rebuild stronger/better if you plan on tracking it again.

i fixed my GC8\'s BEB ($6.5K) yrs ago with replacement EJ20 but wish i\'d gone for a 2.5.

good luck

... minus the pink wheels though

Yeah, I dont really want to spend much more than 5k on it, or it starts not being worth it to repair. Ive founde the replacement panels for ~$350 so will see what the panelbeater says re chassis damage.
