Going to the scrapyard
 
A moment of silence for our fallen brothers. They gave all they could, some more than others. The yellow one was a 2002 S with lots of options. The black one below it was an 01 S and the arena red only had 43,000 miles on it. I couldn't find one ounce of damage on the AR, but the insurance company labeled it "parts only" so it could never legally see the road again. The other two were 2.5's. Some people have called me the "King of the Boxsters". I think I'm more like the "Grim Reaper of Boxsters".

Hey Woody

If any of them have "mud guard" that is in the front of the rear wheel well that are not broken, I am looking for both sides

Yea, I'm being a vulture LOL

Woody,

Probably posted on the other thread too, but I am still in the market for an '03 - '04 top and frame in excellent condition. Thanks.

Hey Woody I would like to buy a cheap insurance write off as I can take it overseas and title it
Guards red, let me know when you get something like that

Timco 05-04-2016 01:28 PM

Our values go up with each car he adds to that row.

RandallNeighbour 05-04-2016 01:55 PM

I'm thinking some of my suspension parts came of the arena red carcass...

Or refrigerator or toaster lol. I hope they get reincarnated as something cool. The guys working at the scrapyard were quick to put them in the crusher. I think they thought they were stolen or something. They're suppose to take titles when they accept a vehicle at scrapyards but these guys directed me straight to the crusher.

Sorry but I don't have any right now. There is a 2004 SE going up for auction next week that I have my eye on.

Right! One boxster saves the lives of a few boxsters, or one spec boxster. A good portion of the body parts goes to repairing boxster's that got wrecked during racing. I appreciate what you guys buy from me on here, but those spec guys can go through a lot of parts. They treat them like bumper cars.

You need a few licenses and permits to do what I do in Texas. I only have the license to resale rebuilt salvage vehicles for one more month and then I'm going to let it expire. Texas changed the laws at the beginning of the year to where it's much more expensive and difficult to have that license. At this time I'm not interested in being a dealer. I have the license to sell vehicle parts only. Sorry

You guys would be shocked at the prices wrecked boxsters/996s have been going for these last two months. I'm not sure what is causing the upswing, but junkyards are paying a premium lately.

.

If you get it, I may want the the shocks, springs and sway bars and also maybe wheel spacers

let me know

1st dibs!

911monty 05-04-2016 02:54 PM

I might be interested in the SE taillights!

It works the other way too sometimes. I bought a front end collision Audi with a 'clean title' recently. It looked like an easy rebuild, until I pulled the bumper off and saw the frame damage and cracked engine block. :(

I would be interested in a few things.
- trunk lid
- driver rear rim 18"
- instrument cluster
Heck I may be interested in buy the car off you

Cheers! Bart

I probably jinxed myself by telling you guys about the SE. It's always the one's I don't care about that I have the winning bid. I need the wheels off it if I get it though. My Chinese wheels are going to the scrap pile very soon.

78F350, What Audi motor do you need? I have a 2002 S4 I'll be parting out soon

GTsilber 05-05-2016 03:42 AM

I would need a few interior pieces off the SE, if it's dark grey leather, as well as the CV axles if they are still serviceable, and the car back exhaust

I'm beginning to think I should part mine out!!

RoughDobermann 05-05-2016 04:38 AM

I'm still looking for a 987 5 speed shift pattern insert. It's a little thing, I know, but it's driving me nuts! :-)

Thanks, but I've decided to just part it. It's an 01 A4 1.8T. A low bid that I didn't expect to win, so not that big a disappointment. My quest is to find a fairly local wrecked, but running A8 for the 4.2 V8+harness+electronics.

texomawaves 05-05-2016 09:16 AM

I might be interested in a set of non-yellowed headlights for a 98, but I'm really interested in the inner lenses if you got em. PM me if you do. thanks.
