Hi All,
I’m after some advice.
My brother recently had an accident in his 2004 EP3 typeR (SII) Civic and damaged it quite badly, the big problem is that insurance can’t cover the damage, meaning he now has a large personal loan and a busted up car.
What would be the best way to recoup some cash? Sell the wreck, sell the parts?
Is there anyone on the forums I should contact, or anyone outside that could help?
The car had a front ender with a pole, still drives and chassis is straight but:
The dash and wheel airbags have deployed, the engine mounts cracked, bonnet , qtr panels, radiator, tie panel and 2 front wheels are wrecked.
Car has Mugen bits all over, engine has 45,000k’s, and is still on rego till August.
Appreciate any advice/contacts/offers etc.

Part it out.

However, in order to post a for sale thread, you'll need to be a member for 90 days, and be helpful so you can gain a positive rep score.

Damn that looks cutting to see but hopefully he escaped that without any serious injuries which is most important.

As above part it out to atleast get some cash back to help his situation, Out of curiosity what is the reason why insurance won't cover?

If no rush - part out and get best $ return

if asap - sell as wreck via auction or private but less $

Selling as a wreck you'll barely get any return and will take a while to find a buyer. Best to part out.
