Default Part out vs sell?

I got an EG coupe D series runs great and is reliable, my question is would you get more from parting out oem stuff and engine etc than just selling it stock for like 1.5k?

it all depends if you have aftermarket things.. wheels, suspension, clean interior?
selling it as a whole would depend upon the sheel.. miles, clean title, any rust or exterior damage?
i would probably try and sell as a whole and then if it doesnt sell, maybe consider parting it out if you have the time and space

Parting out = more money and more time/effort.

Sell as running car = less money but faster and much less effort.

As mentioned, I all depends on condition if you want to sell it as a running car, post some pix. 94

What is your time worth? If you have little else going on, part it out, you *might* make a few extra bucks!

Parting out takes forever and ever. Tons of no shows and bull emails. I will never do it again.

Sell it. Post it for 600 dollars more than what you want it for and wait for somebody to "lowball" you to what you're actually looking for it.

Part it out especially if you have aftermarket.

If you part it out and not all your deals go through, then you just wasted time and lost money. I say sell it. Someone's always looking for a gas saving civic.

Don't bother parting out unless you have high-interest parts like aftermarket parts or "rare" parts (e.g. interior panels in a desireable color) or a LOT of time on your hands. If it's just a run-of-the-mill EG coupe you will have to be very patient to sell much of anything.
