svt focus

So I bought an SVT focus for $180 dollars with blown motor of course. planed on selling the interior to recoup the cost of the car. But I now realize I can only ever recoup $180 dollars while selling parts of the car.

This is correct?

So I guess the magic is in the math and documentation.

By part bundles. Sell parts separately. Recoup part purchases until you max out the $1000 dollars.

And don't sell over $180.  Trade anything else for stuff you need.

or sell way more than $180 and your bank account love you long time.  

Yes, you can only recoup $180 in this scenario. 

Stampie is right about trades-and sell the dinky stuff first and then use the really nice stuff as trade stock. If you sell the nice stuff first you'll quickly max out your recoup and be stuck with the less desirable parts that are a PITA to trade.

so for example trade my svt header for a turbo manifold and turbo. Straight swap and no budget is used? Am I understanding this right?

In reply to temick :

If you and turbo person agree to trade even then yep.  Just document it.
