View Full Version : Wrecked tC's worth
BoiseAuctioneer 11-16-2007, 04:31 PM I came across a tC that was wrecked and needs some body work. The door panels, and front end need replaced but everything else is in good condition.
With a working motor. Wheels and tires, and interior in good condition what do you think it is worth
Its an 06 with 10k miles on it
shadow12one 11-16-2007, 04:56 PM Its not worth much. No one wants to buy cars with a salvage title. I believe they go for about 10k or so. If u wanna get a cheap tC for yourself go ahead but if you wanna profit from fixing it up your not gonna get anything.
BoiseAuctioneer 11-16-2007, 04:58 PM No, I was thinking more of either piecing it out and keeping the parts I wanted, or building a dune buggy! Lose 50% of the body weight and put some bigger tires on those wheels!
Thats way far off but what would you say its worth?
iKONA 11-16-2007, 05:12 PM It might not be as bad as it is, the doors might be damaged but it could just be the top skin. You can always replace the top skin on the doors. The hatch too.
BoiseAuctioneer 11-16-2007, 05:14 PM Yeah, I was thinking, hell sell my tC fix this one and drive it!
aRucard 11-16-2007, 06:36 PM sounds like it might be worth around 5k, i got mine for 4700 fixed it up and now i'm driving it
BoiseAuctioneer 11-16-2007, 08:15 PM Yeah, I would be doing a full turbo, built motor, suspension, set up....
BoiseAuctioneer 11-16-2007, 08:18 PM Here are pictures I took of it.
car has 10,000 miles.
Motor runs and works. Not sure if the car will still drive....
Air bags are deployed. Thats all I know

I want the motor :x I need a trans too!
BoiseAuctioneer 11-16-2007, 08:24 PM Well if I decide to part it out you interested in calling first dibs? I want to do some stuff with some of the interior.... so I wont need the rest of the car!
djpeaty 11-16-2007, 08:24 PM Wow there must not be any e-brake cable. The things standing straight up like it took some Viagra.
It's fixable though.
jiggadomino 11-16-2007, 08:25 PM poor tc...
if your making a dune buggy sell the parts you take off and youre not keeping to make some $$
BoiseAuctioneer 11-16-2007, 08:33 PM Yeah thats what I plan! Im thinking a street legal dune buggy would be BAD ___.

If you take it, PM on the drivetrain! Might need another motor if/when i blow mine up!
greddy05tc 11-19-2007, 04:10 AM that is going to be more money to fix than you might think. for example, that quarter panel is going to have to be replaced. the shop would have to cut that one out then get another one and put it on. not cheap.
