There is an older couple by me here in TN that has a black S4 TII sitting in their back yard with grass growing all around it. Car probably hasnt moved in years and Im guessing that the motor is seized up. Rumor has it that the guy wants it gone and is willing to sell it for real cheap. Given that the interior and exterior are in good shape and most parts from the motor are salvagable, minus the block, how much money could I possibly make from parting it out?

 

or just find out what happened to it, alot of the time it is simple fouled plugs or flooded engine that wouldn't start.

 

Don't consider parting it if there's an opportunity to rebuild it! We need to keep these things around!

 

Well, I already have one headache, and I cant really afford to do a rebuild on another motor. I figured I would help out those in need and give them the parts they need. I just want to see how much I could get out of so I know when I found out how much the guy wants for it. They didnt answer when i went to their door. So Ill go again tomorrow and leave a note asking them to call me.

 

Well you could get alot more for the car by parting it, than they would most likely take for it... I say if it's anywhere under $800 it's worth a shot...

 

Ive been told they would take $500

 

**** man do it...

 

then offer him $300

just have an extra 200 in a diff pocket if its not gona happen

 

And you thought I was crazy haha. Im going back tomorrow or Tuesday, hopefully they are around. If not, Im leaving a note on their door telling them to call me.

 

I would do it in a heartbeat.

I have about 4 7's here that I know of sitting that are doing nothing and I plan to buy them and get them back on the road.

Try to bring it back to life before parting.

As much as Id love another car, at this point in my life, one rotary is all that I can really handle. But, if I can get ahold of this car and make some decent money off of it, it will help me get my running really well and get rid of a few headaches that the car has been giving me lately.
