Not very much I'm afraid. If its not running and doesn't have an NCT then a 95 GS can't be worth more than 1K.

Cant imagine it being worth anywhere near 1k, i sold a mint red 95gr with full two years nct and could only get 1250 euro.
Being honest, 1.8 engine + not running + no nct = 500 euro.

I agree with Gerry .
Sorry that's the harsh reality , if you can even get 5oo for it sell it FAST

I would be imagining a price tag of €500 and actually accepting an offer of less. It depends on the bodywork and interior, cause its more or less only fit for parts if the engine is bust, (apart from the fact that there wouldn't be that many people looking for a GS engine anyway). Also depends if its tip or manual, as a manual gearbox could be used for a conversion. Lot of factors to take into account, harsh reality is that great condition ones aren't selling for anything good nowadays, so a 95 GS with an engine gone is going to be lucky to be taken.

I guess my point is that if you stripped the FTO for parts you could get up to 1K for the parts - hence 1K value.
Would also be a useful starting point for a project car if the chassis was in good nick.

I think your valuation is way off mffto.300 tops in current condition.

No demand for 1.8 engines or boxes.

Doors, bootlids, seats worthless now.

Only valuable parts are wings bonnet and lights. Sure you'd sell random bits here and there, but the fact that its a 1.8 really limits what you can sell to v6 owners which are now the vast bulk of owners around here.

Can anyone on here that has stripped an FTO give an indication as to what they made on parts?

it's hard to appreciate in the curent climate how much you would make in scrapping an FTO . But as Colm said after you sell some Key parts (eg. centre console,alternator,stepper, manual box, wings ,bonnet ...) it's hard to shift the other parts as say a few years ago there were only a couple of places beside the www where you could get pars as now they have them everywhere.
