    Breaking S2 Avant

    I am breaking my Audi S2 ABY, the car has covered 151k and if anyone wants to take the whole car complete its 4k but no offers.

    The car is currently not taxed, has MOT but requires a set of indicator stalks to be used, anyone that watched Dests build thread will know the car and what mods he carried out on it.

    Prices are non negotiable unless you can proove I'm asking way over the odds, personally I think its all priced more than fairly but we'll see what you all think.

    The car is yet to be broken, it is complete and I will not be removing a thing until I get the unit to put the car in so if anyone is desperate for something I am afraid you will have to wait a week.

    Most parts can be posted within the uk, I have had PM's from people abroad who I am happy to sell too but until the car is actually stripped I cannot weigh the items to give you a exact price on postage.

    Right here goes !

    ABY engine, 034 Coilpack conversion with 5 new Genuine coil on plugs, 151k on the engine, comes with inlet/exhaust manifolds, turbo, wastegate, new plugs 2k ago, and all pipework, no loom or ecu £1000

    ABY Ecu, homefried chipset, no faults £300

    ABY Ecu, mint, no cuts as far as I'm aware and will be removed correctly £100

    Ign Amps x 2 £40

    6 speed ABY gearbox, no crunches, smooth gearbox comes with linkages £300

    Rear diff £150

    Propshaft £50

    Driveshafts £25 each

    Porsche Brake conversion, calipers, brackets and discs, needs pads soon £400

    Rear Brakes, need overhaul ideally £30

    Hubs £100

    Audi S8 Alloys with tyres, few marks on them but perfectly straight and come up mint, few k left in the tyres yet and 1 spare centre cap, come with correct spacers to suit an Avant £500

    H&R Lowering springs £60 Sold to Chris_W

    Standard S2 dampers x4 £50

    Miltek backbox, like new £125

    Front bumper with spotlights and indicators, small graze on the lower plastic, comes with washer jets £200

    Rear Avant bumper, slight graze on lower plastic trim, scratches along top half thanks to my dog £50

    3 Spoke Steering wheel with correct non Air bag cowling £100

    Steering Rack no play £50

    Main Radiator, not very old and well made £100 sold to europeanme

    Radiator Fan £20

    Auxillary Radiator £20

    Front alloy subframe mounts £40

    Rear alloy Avant subframe mounts £50

    Interior with Carbon trim, cloth seats and door cards £150

    Dashboard in beige with component speakers £30

    Dashboard in black £20

    Dash clocks £40

    Centre 3 guages £100

    Boost guage in white (matches others) with centre air vent mount from germany £50

    Air flow meter £100

    Headlights with HID conversion, few stonechips, no cracks £200 sold to andy10v

    LUK Clutch kit, done a few hundred miles £120

    New unused Clutch slave cylinder genuine £50

    Audi Avant floor mats, £30

    That will do for now, obviously there is a lot more to come off a S2 which I haven't listed but if there is something small that you are after then just PM and we'll sort a price.

    No payments being taken for anything as yet though until its actually off my drive.

        As discussed in the "S2 values" thread, the simple truth is that they are worth more money when broken.
        If mine has to go and I cant get what I want for it I will do the same!

            Cheers for clearing that up dest, yes its a nice car but it does need a bit of paint work here and there eventually, plus other bits need sorting. If someone wants to give me 4k then it would go whole but i guarantee it won't sell for that so it needs to be broken. Its a good all round car though so it will help others get theirs finished to a good standard

                    We keep hearing the "it's worth more in bits" but I'm pretty sure you'll struggle to get anything like £4k!! I can understand people breaking a wreck that needs a lot of money spent, but to scrap a tidy car that's becoming increasingly rare is wrong IMO. The market is currently flooded with people breaking S cars so parts aren't worth what they used to be. That said good luck with the sale in whatever form it takes.
                    '93 S4 Avant now back on the road complete with new shiny go faster bits.

                      Will you get £4k+ for stripping it though?
                      Once you work out how many hours it takes stripping it, selling the parts, packagaing and shipping them etc - it must add up to a fair few hours. Are you gonna make all that back by selling the parts alone?
                      Seems to me even of you sell it for £3k, you'll save yourself a lot of hassle and time...
                      Has anyone got any data on how much you can actually make in parts alone?
                      Offset that against 50(?) hours labour and then see how good it looks.....

                        Thanks for the replies, I will post the parts list up shortly but yes its easily worth 4k in bits when you consider what the seperate parts sell for, infact I'm confident it will break for more than 4k but that was just a rough figure I mentioned in my first post.

                        In some peoples eyes its wrong to break it, but it is MY car and I will do what I want with it, I have seen some awesome Cosworths broken due to them not fetching the money they are worth whole so really what is the difference ?

                        As I currently have no job time is not an issue, neither is packaging any parts up and going to the post office, to be perfectly honest going from the PM's I have had the car will go quickly as there are LOTS of people who are after odd bits thus making breaking it a more sensible choice.

                        All PM's wil be replied to shortly

                          I didn't mean to imply it was wrong, I just said it was a shame...

                            do what you need to in hard times so can't knock it IMO but gotta admit i can't see £4k from parts alone?
