    Just wondering if my crashed/scrap car is worth anything.

    Who would collect it from me.

    i was thinking of replacing it anyway.

    Its an 03 civic with front bumper bonnet and headlight damage.
    radiator also needs replacing otherwise engine and the rest is fine.

    Just wondering if it is worth anything, I am based in Dublin

    Thanks

    Eoin

    What colour is it? If it's a fairly standard colour, you could pick up those parts cheap enough and sell the car off then. There is always people looking for cheap reliable cars

    Depends on what's salvageable. Put up a pic.

    is it badly damaged at the front? from what i've read here it doesnt seem very bad

    if its fixable then do it, put a fresh nct on it and sell it on

    if not then ring the scrap collectors

    or just put it on done deal as is like mentioned previosly

    Was quoted 3k to fix it as "honda parts are very expensive" i dont know enough about cars to do much with it. Insurance wrote it off and left me with it. Just wondering what to do with it.

    Can you put up some pics of the damage. Could be more underlying damage than bonnet, light and rad.

    Getting written quote tomorrow fir what is being fixed. It also includes new bumper.

    I can get a few pics tomorrow.

    All that aside do garages buy crashed cars for doing up to sell on. Or is it really just scrap for parts?
