2000 Beetle-- Wrecked-- What's it worth?

[robmc]

I bought this as a salvage a few years ago. Replaced front bumper, hood, fenders, windshield, pass door, rocker, airbags and repainted. Most parts were purchased from NB members. Had it on the road 4 months before a hailstorm-assisted free flight took place.

I am DEpressed.

2.0L, 5sp, GL. Not sure what to do with it. Running gear has 30k. Looking for suggestions from the NB.

Appreciate the input.

Best,

RobMc

I don't blame you for being depressed After doing all that work on it you crash in a storm! It looks like alot to do to fix again. Good luck in whatever path you choose young grasshopper

[dnyed]

I see it has Oregon plates. Where are you?

[from Margaritaville...]

It'll buff out...

[vdubbugman53]

hey what year is the car......does it have secondary air.....if not ill buy the ECU from you

[robmc]

dnyed -- I'm on the north OR coast.

vdubbugman53 -- I'm not to the parting out stage... yet

Lnzbug -- Aside from not having the time to do it again, the uniframe rails are hammered. Reckon it's a loss this time. What sucks most is after the rebuild, vag-com, everything, I had under 8k in a 2000 Beetle with 26k miles. But, since it was a salvage title my insurance co would only cover liability. Uhn.

It's currently a lawn ornament with that new car smell.

Best,

that ccar is a total....it would cost more to fix then it is worth.....as you noted the frame rails are not even straight anymore....if you do part it i got first call on the ECU if it is non secondary air

[Lnzbug]

I can see now what you're talking about. When I first looked at the pic all I saw was a front end smashed with no radiator

[Crazy_MoFo]

If you decide to part it out, I'll take dibs on the rear bumper with the side markers(and the foamy crap that comes inside the bumper), and the 3 top dash pieces along with the center piece where the stereo goes and the bottom piece that has the defrost and the hazard lights switch

[lojasmo]

Part it. It's not worth squat.

[vdubbugman53]

yea it looks like a pre 2002 car so im assuiming it is DBC.

as lojasmo said it was already a salvage when you bought so it will be a complete loss unless you have money to spair

[bill2913]

What do you want for the engine?

[scarabY2k]

I say part it out as well. You'll sell a load from just the folks here on the org.

[black widow]

How much for the glove box "grey I hope" and the seat belts "black I hope?

[scarabY2k]

If you're gonna part it out, I'd like to know how much for the center cosole which holds the stereo, the cluster underneath it as well. Don't need the stereo.

[lojasmo]

If you lived near, I'd take the hatch/spoiler.

[Jsplurge]

Part it out, you'll probably make enough of a chunk for a good down payment on another one I'd assume, possibly used. Your call. Let us know, that thing is like a gold mine to avid orgers trust us.

[bluebeetlebabe]

Its worth one million dollars

[Madwand]

I'll buy your 2 visors and your keyfob. And your center console/armrest if it ain't broken like they all are.

[robmc]

Welp, so far the salvage yards are up to $1800, including pick-up.

I'm pushing for 2k.

If I can't get it in the next few week, I'll start parting it out.

Thanks for the input and offers.

Best,
