parting out worth it? Reply #3 – December 08, 2009, 01:05:12 AM ~AC, don't be discouraged. I tried to sell a really nice 87 turbo coupe for almost 6 months and I only wnat $2,500 for it. It had a rebuilt tranny, and not rust. It takes time to sell one of these cars. If you need the money and you have the skills to part it out without breaking stuff, do it. People might jump on me for this but, you gotta do what you gotta do. Even mint, the cars are pretty cheap. :/Agian, its about your situation. If you can part it out and make what your asking for the car, you can always s the car and then make the extra $75 or $100. Quote Selected

parting out worth it? Reply #6 – December 08, 2009, 01:27:18 PM im running the possibilities through my head. its a good motor, good trans, good rearend.. i have all the switches people would need to replace in most cases, almost mint. other than the regular plastics like the seat belt sheaths and 1 seat belt loophole on the seat, all is intact. i think i could even sell the carpet, its only worn where my foot rested on the trans tunnel. seats are clean and only the drivers seat is really worn. i feel like the car is worth like 1000-1500 in parts but it takes sooooooooooo long to get rid of it all. ive thought about listing it as a 302/aod donor car. i feel like i could sell the engine to someone for 350-500, the aod 200-300, 7.5 50-100... or 1000-1200 whole.. but debt collectors want money NOW. its in default and i need to throw something their way so i can get it freed up so i can get college grants. i call them asking how i could get out of it. they wanted me to settle for 5000. the grant i was denied was for OVER 5000. i almost called them up to ask if they would take it off default and i would pay them 3000 out of my grants but figured its either illegal and i'd prolly need the 5000 for classes, so i said fug it.

Parting takes FOREVER and is kinda useless unless you are doing it to save parts for another car. Trust me, I know, ive done it 3 times now.... your car is worth about 850 to MAYBE 1k the way it is in this economy. Quote Selected
