the front of the maxiam is F*#@ed but the engine is good and so is the rest of the car. he ad 3rd party insurance so he's not gonna get any money back so its eaiter $100 from the junkyard or sell it and when i asked he said $500, think if i buy it will i be able to make the money i invested or a little more?

 

hell yeah. i would scoop that car up really quick and start parting it out day. im sure your will make more money that way. im sure you can make anywhere from 1-4k just by parting it out.

 

Find out what the junkyard charges to tow it from where you strip it. Also, it would be smarter to remove the parts and store them if you have the space than to pull them as ppl want parts.

That way if you break something when taking it off you won't have to tell a potential buyer, "Sorry I broke that part during removal." But yes definitely buy it, you can make your money back on leather seats and wheels alone.

 

put pics up and see if anyone wants anything

 

Create a new thread in the 5th Gen Classifieds IF you're going to part out.

 

thanks for the input. its a friend of my dad and i told my dad if to get ti dunno when coz he got some paper work to fill so probably be here in a week if he's getting it and if he did i'll let you guys know.

 

Most def, post items w/ pic's when possible.

 

Where is the car located?

 

500 bucks... HA ... thats a steal

 

for sure. the trunk/exhaust/tails/interior is already more than $500.

 

Yup. Buy that for sure!

 

Buy it and part it. Anything you don't use from interior to brackets can be sold.

 

Good Buy!

 

I wish it was that easy. Don't expect much man unless you gonna be asking top dollar for your parts.

$500 is a steal.

 

I would be interested in a trunk liner.

 

If my 626 had well over $1000 salvage value (according to the insurance company) despite a really hard back end hit and either bent frame or axle, a totalled 5th gen Max ought to be worth double that. $500 is a great deal.

 

if you do decide to buy it and sell the parts, do us all a favor and dont ask retail prices for everything. if you think you are going to make a fortune and move to florida for retirement by parting out one 2001 maxima, than dont bother doing it. price the parts aggresively so you can sell them fast and make some money. otherwise you will be sitting on parts in your basement for a while.

 

Let us know.. Love to get the steering wheel...... Dibs on it....

 

Charges? Are you serious? I call a local tow company, pay them $45 to drive it onto the scales at a scrapyard, than collect around $250, you're silly if your letting people charge YOU to take the car away.

 

LOL
