Fix & Sell or Break for parts????

Post by dilksie »

Bought a 53 plate Passat SE TDI (AWX) without MOT and a few issues cheap (scrap money) from a guy at work and am stuck as to what to do with it. Should I fix it up, MOT it and sell or use it as a parts supply for my wifes car and sell on the bits I don't need. Here's some pics

Milage is approx 117,000, has service history (belt done at 78,000) and as far as I can tell everything works. From what I can see it needs 2 tyres, a front spring, one of the mirror indicators is cracked, the rear discs and pads will probably need changing and it's due a service. Apart from the wing and bumper it's a really straight car so what do you guys think it would be worth fixed with a years MOT on it?
