I’d be very interested if you where to sell it, what would be the price you have in mind ? 

£800 I reckon. The wheels and tyres alone should fetch $400 easy.

Cheers guys. I think the IS300 and Toyota Altezza in this shape are still quite sought after, so would probably have been worth restoring. The IS200 not so much, so I guess I'll be paying the mechanic a visit to see about breaking it.

Looking for a little advice. I have an 2003 IS200 (105k mileage) that was broken into, then stolen and recovered about a year ago. The back windscreen was smashed, and crowbar damage was done to the boot and rear speaker, rear seats, smashed steering lock etc.

I was origianlly going to get it all repaired, however my mechanic has been unable (or unwilling perhaps) to find all the required parts, and Autoglass has also not been able to source a replacement tinted rear windscreen.

I've pretty much given up on it, but wondered if anyone on the forums thinks it might be worth salvaging? It's a stock factory IS200 Sport with the nice factory body kit and 18' alloys (also have 2 spare matching wheels with summer tyres).

Oh yeah, it also has the classic rotten sill issue in front of the rear wheel arches. Was going to get that fixed, but car was broken into, stolen, then recovered just before that was due to happen.

Passenger side sill (it's worse now as has been sitting)

Drivers side sill. Inner structural leaf is in good condition, but this after I started picking off the paint to see how bad it was.

Rear speaker (I have a replacement)

So, scrap for parts or sell, what do you reckon?
