parting out?

[konboss]

all right guys.
since my celica all f***ed up, it'll costs 20,000$ to repair.
So my insurance company decide to total.
but I figure there got to be something that I can take out and sell it!
I'm not sure if the insurance company let me take those or not, but I have some questions for ya.
what can I part out interior?
Exterior is almost crushed except tail lights.
I already took out shift nob, floor mats and cargo net.
What else?
help me guys

[SexyCelica]

Take EVERYTHING out, even things like speedometer needles (which i need btw :) )

Post some pics and I'll try to give you a list

[v0idGT]

If it's a gt-s, take out the pedals and the dead pedal and sell them to me :D

[SF GT]

How much for the cargo net?

[konboss]

alright!
I'll take pictures tomorrow.
The car is still at the body shop.
I dunno how to take those parts out, prob ask to a guy at the body shop.

[Blue Bomber]

You can sell probably every piece of the interior of the car. Post in the For Sale forum to sell them.

[konboss]

haven't decided the prices.
help me out.
then I'll list everything at sales forum.

You can usually get at least half price on most of the parts, depending on demand and how insanely Toyota prices some of their parts (stock stereo, for example).

[csulbkid]

im interested in the cargo net . . . have so much crap in my trunk and it all flops around all the time.

[konboss]

Thx for the info Blue Bomber!

[konboss]

sorry for listing stuff for sale here, but for SF GT and csulbkid.
Whoever gonna pick up will have the first chance.
The problem is I'll be out of town for a month.
leaving this Friday, so...I have to get rid of it before that or u guys have to wait for a month.
The price is 25$ pick up, 30$ include shipping.
I considered other sales price.
Thx.

[csulbkid]

Not to be a downer, but it's been my experience with insurance comapnies that if they total the car, they get the entire car, and you're not able to pull parts out of it. One thing you can do is if you have an aftermarket stereo, replace the factory one, but in general they want a "full car". Your company may be different though.

makes sense.

[nxracer]

I agree. Once they Total the car and pay you for it it is not your car anymore.

[SexyCelica]

I'm guessing they sell the car to junkyards which then part the car out themselves right

:werd: When an insurance company totals a car and then pays you a settlement for the car, it is no longer your property. They are, in a sense, buying the car from you. They will then sell it to a junk yard or so who will strip it for usable parts. If you take all the usable parts before they take the car and still take the check they are giving you, you are comitting insurance fraud.

[v0idGT]

so tell us all the name of the junkyard that has it so we can be vultures and try to get the parts that we need :D

My friend had gotten into an accident. He rolled his accord a month back. It was totalled. He was able to get his car and he personally sold it to the junk yard. He didnt even bother saving whatever piece but sold it as a whole. He got like 2500 for it. Im not sure how his insurance settledment panned out.

[konboss]

damn~I didn't know...
oh well...then I'll see how much my insurance company gonna pay for a sattlement.
See which way is benefit for me.
i'll go take pics and why don't u guys guess how much it worth to sell to a junky yard.
by the way, thanks everybody for the info!

[konboss]

Here some pics of damage
My insurance company offered me 3300$ for taking the car from me.
Check out the pics.
Do u think it's worth 3300$ if I sell it to a junky yard?
The interior is not damaged.
no airbag poped.

[ICU2COP]

i need the drain plug that is on the hatch on the right side, it's a lil peice of black rubber. i need that. and i could take few interior peices too

[konboss]

finally upload the pics...-.-;;

[SexyCelica]

No not a red celica! Thats like the rarest color!

I'm not sure about the pricing, but heres what people would be interested in, not sure if you can take it out-
Radio, Seats, Center console, all interior pieces, gauges cluster (whole or seperately), floor mats, tailight, wing, exaust, rear bumper, tire/rim, trunk mat and cover thing, hoodscoop, headlight, sidemarker, all engine mods

You probably won't get $3300 out of it, but that seems kinda low

Save the needles for me!

[skamikaze]

youre forgetting the most important part. the fricken engine. if it sitll works. that in itself could be about $2000 easy.

[konboss]

damn~where can I sell my used engine?

[joshw284]

Red's the rarest color? Cool, that's what I have. It seems like celica's are everywhere... Wish they were a little rarer

[portopotti]

if you are able to part out, i'll take that center console from ya.

let me know.

[v0idGT]

People sell engines on ebay a lot. I'm not sure where you would get the best price tho. Ebay = lowballers typically. But with all the interior, the engine, and it looks like the wheels are fine, too (you can sell those for at least $300), I would think that you could get more than $3300.

[v0idGT]

Also, if the tranny's not messed up, you could sell that along with the engine and get a good bit more money.
