Parting out vs. selling whole car
I'm just getting fed up with dealing with DSMs. I guess maybe I'm just not made for it, but when daily driving a 500AWHP DSM I guess it can get a bit tiring. I already have a project/fun car so I really don't need both.
Here's my dilemma: sell the car as is or part it out? I'd want at least $10k for the car as is. Parted out I think it's worth a LOT more.
