Thoughts on this, would it be a profitable thing to do if i could get the car for scrap value? (100 quid?)
It is a fully working car, cloth interior etc wheel trims so no alloys and 200k on the engine but runs fine...
Would this be a profitable thing to buy and break or would i lose out on time/hassle/money do you think?

If you have the space and time (a couple hours a day for a few days) then do it

As above, if you have time and space then you'll make a bit but if you have a full time job it's probably not worth the effort.

Is it a CDX or just a LX diesel?

The CDX model you will sell the climate control for a decent whack. Circa £130 for the full setup. Heated leathers expect to see the same. Then you have the cruise control, circe £50 for the setup, and variable wiper stalk for £30ish.
If its an LX i wouldnt bother. Too much hassle for little gain...

Yeah i think its an lx model as it doesnt have leather seats, cruise control or anything like that - cant get pics till friday. do you think the engine and box might be worth a little as they run absolutely fine? then weigh the rest in?
