possible sale of TD engine and Turbo - scruffythedog118
Have had the miss fortune of crunching my car, I fear the insurers are going to write it off - but only due to damage repair costs exceeding value of car.
I had a Ford Mondeo 1800LX turbo diesel. (L reg '93)

I was thinking about seeing if I could buy it back from the insurers as I want a few bits of the car, but seriously thinking about trying to sell the TURBO DIESEL engine as the engine has only done just short of 57,000 miles (as FORD FACTORY EXCHANGE) and the turbocharger was replaced at the same time, and it runs like dream....(intended to keep for many years yet!)
I have all the FORD receipts to prove this. Can anyone advise me on what a sensible price might be to -
1. buy it back
2. sell the engine and turbo

Does any body know of anyone who might be interested if I can get it back.

That post was 4+ years ago; if you really want a genuine new one - not a re-con, complete with everything; I've got just one left.
