Parting out vs. selling whole car

[awd-drifter]

With parting out, you would get a lot more in the long run. I thought about this before I sold my Galant. Not sure if space is a problem for you but I know some people who have parted out their cars and space tend to be an issue. Maybe I should buy your Eclipse? lol. But right now, I can't imagine myself buying a car like that even though I know I would love it. I'd just rather invest that money into something newer. But if sold for under 10k, I'd say it's a heck of a good deal.

I've got space. Time is obviously a bigger deal but if I could make a couple of grand over what I paid for the car it would probably be worth it. Since people can't get loans for these cars usually and definitely not ones like this, I just suspect I'd be holding onto it for a while. That's why I'm considering a part out.
