Part the Car or Sell It?

[BlownZ]

Anyone ever just parted their car out rather than selling it? It seems like you can sell the parts all day long...quick and easy but selling an entire car lately takes months in some cases unless you want to just give it away. I am curious what you guys think a GN in decent shape could fetch parted out?

I would think you could make 10 times what that car would sell for by parting it out. I think at best I might break even on my car....it has lots of goodies on it but I don't know if I would want to hassle with the teardown etc...

Shipping parts gets a PITA especially big stuff.If you sell it complete they'll try to beat you down on your price but If you part it out they'll try to beat you down on your price 100 times one part at a time.Then they'll beyotch about shipping prices.Tear down is also a pita unless you have lots of free time.

Dan's favorite motto "If in doubt piece it out" . It's just a car!!! Only bad thing is gettin rid of the big pieces. It can be a pain in the butt. Or you can save the "bones" an 10 years from now people would rebuild it

how much for the car?

Parting you can make more. Only problem there is selling stuff and having to deal with all the bull! Someone saying they want it then back out, low-balling, etc... Hope you have a full head of hair!
