for the older ones with more miles on them and rust patches and siezed suspension etc, its alot of money to put into it when you probably wont see a return on it (only applicable if you aren't planning on keeping it for the rest of your life). Mine had the same issues above, i would have been lucky to get more than 3.5k for it so its better off stripping it for parts as its worth alot more.

for example i just stripped a 2002 with 70 odd thousand miles on the clocks that was rear ended, nso far sold about £4900 of parts and got another £3200 worth of parts available.

That is good money from breaking them, no wonder so many people have done it.

I bought mine in January last year and I think I got it for a good price, I was tempted to sell it in summer but would just end up buying another so wouldn't actually make any money from it.
