My CG125 was mildly vandalised last year and would need:

Some new cabling
New throttle assembly
New carb
new gearshift pedal
new battery
new front fork seals (which needed doing before the vandalism)

and a few other minor things, along with a general clean and wipe to get rid of a bit of rust that's accumulated, as well as check-down to check it's all safe and road-legal again. The MOT and tax expired last month.

It's a yr 2000 bike, cat c insurance writeoff (as a result of the minor vandalism) but with no major problems that I can see. Now I'm working I don't have time to learn to fix it myself so my options are:
(1) sell it as is (don't have time to break it)
(2) find someone to repair it and then keep it

Any suggestions, especially as to the cost of fixing all this? I want to do what's best value, which probably means selling it.

(Unless anyone know how to get a repair job done by a cheap garage?)
