No reserve on this one, suspected big end failure. could go cheap for spares.

Theres not much on that truck that would be sellable.When looking to buy as a breaker you need to look beyond the cheap price of a truck and see what is actually on the truck worth selling.When i started breaking trucks 2.5 years ago i made this mistake by seeing something cheap and buying it.I learnt not to jump to quick

[che2318]

surely it would be worth the panels , windows and doors etc if the price doesnt exceed 200?

[stormforce]

the panels and doors don't sell very well.Its only been due to the bad conditions recently that i was able to sell plenty of doors and wings and 1 bonnet.I've only ever sold 3 tailgates in 2.5 years so there's not alot you can sell as the bumpers are shite.I wouldn't sell anything from the engine if i couldn't drive the truck as i can't say if everything is working ok

i was thinking more for spares for my own truck if i had somewhere to park it but i dont.

might just save up and get myself a 3l.

there is a 3.0 l near me with a knackered head, a bit tatty, the owner wants me to make an offer. Any ideas how much i should offer ?

[stormforce]

i've been paying 5-600 for them so if he wants rid offer 300

[billious]

Thanks, I will try at £300 and wait for him to stop laughing

[stormforce]

at least it will be a start price seeing as he said to make an offer on it and he can ask for a bit more.If it is tatty then don't pay over the 450 for it tho and that will be the maximum.I would say 400 is a fair enough price but start at the 300
