Default Would you rather Part out or sell?

So the integra is at that time where you have to choose from fixing it or selling it...

and to me, I love my Integra but I dont think its worth saving it no more.

So would you guys rather sell the car or part it?

Wrongs, timing belt snap, left driver side axel is making funny noise, cant shift the car into gear anymore, and oil is leaking from the engine. Has about 179,000 miles on it. *EDIT and E-Brake sometimes lock and cant unlock

I posted on craigslist last month and seems like no ones wants it. So should I just part it? I was only asking $1000 for it.

Prices around this range??? what do you think??
rear brake conversion $250
1999 front leather seats (black) $250
1994 rear leather sears $80
full rear inteior swap $100
door panel $50
dash board $100
idk there more to list but what do you guys think??? Sell again or part

A lot of the time you can make more money by parting the car out, but just think of these things...

1. Is the body good enough where someone might want just the shell? If not, do you want to deal with getting rid of the shell?

2. Do you have the time, desire, and space to deal with selling a bunch of parts?

I bought a wrecked car for just the swap and parted out the rest. I basically made back what I bought it for and got a free GSR swap out of the deal. The only thing is it got annoying quick dealing with flakes, lowballers, and little ghetto morons all the time.

you were trying to get $1k for a car with a bad motor, bad tranny, and mismatched interior? for that price it better be a 98+ with the exterior in mind condition. also, the prices you posted for the individual parts sound kinda high, i've seen integra parts on craigslist listed for less than that and not selling.

Yeah I paid $1300 for my DA in decent shape with no major issues.

Realistically, I'd pay $500 for what you described IF the body is in pretty good shape
