I have joked for years that my disco is probably worth more in parts/scrap than I could sell it for. Looking at some recent for sale ads I think it might actually be true now.

btw, no plans to sell or scrap. New grabber AT2s and trimmed front bumper..ready for the trail!

 

It's hard to say. Today I looked at a mid 90s Range Rover that looked like it'd been to hell and back twice, and the seller was asking $2500. He may not get $2500, but really that is a fair price for a good running 4x4 even if it is beat up.

If your truck is in good shape and runs well, I bet you'd be better off selling whole.

 

Parts...all day long. There are dozens of Discos on Kijiji for around a grand.

I paid $800 for mine with a blown motor. Other than pass door lock, nothing else wrong with the truck, solid body and frame.
I didnt bother trying to sell any of the engine parts, just pulled it and scrapped it, same with the transmission. Got $110 in scrap material, another $300 for the scrap cats. Half the cost of the truck right there. Wheels and a few choice parts and voila, there's your trucks cost.

Some people on the other hand are dreamers, they want 3K for trucks that are ready for the crusher.

I like this one. "To cheap to buy a fuse"

 

or the "needs some minor engine work" ROFL...

 

ROFL!!!!! I I love it!! But some people get scared when the engine light comes on and some mechanic says its going to be 800$ for some sensor. Lol. I got to shops and ask questions about discoveries just for a laugh. Like the guy who told me it was 1.4 hours to change the t-stat. Lol

 

Or too scared to find out that's not really the problem.

 

I bought a d2 with a blown motor (head gasket) for $1K and have just about doubled my money parting it out. If I chose to hang on to it longer, I could probably squeeze out another grand.

 

If I had a bigger yard I would have a rovers only junk yard!!
