Sell it whole or part it out

[juiceweezl]

Okay, so I rarely drive my car anymore, and I'm thinking about getting a jeep. Here's the question: Am I better off parting the car out or selling it as is? Details below.

2000 GT
Odometer shows around 105K (can't remember)
Motor has less than 15K (maybe less than 10K) I think and transmission less than 20K (I'd have to pull the details)
All forged motor with cobra crank
P&P heads with custom grind cams
V2-SQ supercharger w/ aftercooler
Anderson PowerPipe
FRP bigger throttle body
Lightning MAF
SCT XCAL with tune
NOS wet kit with window switch & WOT switch plus purge & bottle blanket
SVT Focus in tank pump
Aeromotive fuel rails
Holley (I think) 55# (or thereabouts) fuel injectors
Sumped tank with all stainless braided lines and anodized fittings
Aeromotive Eliminator pump and filters to match controlled by a BAP switch to turn on at 3PSI boost
Hooker L/T's with O/R-H pipe
Spec Stage 3HD clutch
TKO600
FRP aluminum driveshaft
Truetrac Diff
Moser 31 spline axles
Lakewood 70/30 struts
Koni yellow double adjustable shocks
Subframes
Adjustable clutch quadrant
Aluminum pedal covers
Taylor aluminum batter box in trunk with cutoff switch mounted for outside access
All new gaskets & timing chains at last rebuild
Autometer lunar cluster
AEM wideband (a real one not some LED show)
Autometer lunar fuel pressure gauge
Autometer lunar boost gauge
Autometer DTAC (or whatever that goofy dyno/timing gauge is)
2 of those are on A pillar and the other are on the cluster overlay with pods
Megabyte Jr. LCA's
UPR upper control arms

You get idea. I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff too. Thanks for any advice on this one.

How much complete??? Bad thing about parting out you get stuck with a ton of parts no one wants

If the car runs, drives, has a title, and has no major damage, then you would be better off selling it whole. Parting a car out is time consuming and dealing with people sucks.

The car is titled, runs/drives perfectly fine. It needs a paint job (spent paint cash on the motor the second time after I warped the cast crank), but is otherwise good to go. I forgot it has the Flaming River steering linkage too plus aftermarket wheels.

I have no idea what it's worth complete. That's kind of what I'm hoping to find here. Thanks.

I get this, but I have both space and time to do this and sell stuff complete/together like the supercharger setup, the motor/tranny, the fuel system, etc. I'd rather sell it all as is, but I'm not sure how much I'd get that way.

My experience parting a car out included cancelling plans and waiting around for people to come get parts. Sometimes the people never showed. They would lowball you like crazy and like said above you will be left with parts you can't even give away.

Of course I got the wrecked 93 4cyl lx for free and ended up making about 1600 off it before i finally had enough and just let somebody buy what was left for $150.

Good point about parts leftover. I've though about putting it back to mostly stock (engine, drivetrain, etc.) and just selling the fuel system, motor, blower, etc., but I don't think that's worth the hassle. I think if I do that, then I sell what's on it and sell the car as a roller.

Anyone have a nice jeep they want to trade?

Not recent. I need to wash and detail it first to get it list worthy. I let the paint go (black fades in this Texas heat) because I was going to pain it. Too bad I warped the crank. Now it sits in the garage all the time. We moved in August of 2010, and I bet I haven't put 2500 miles on it since then. Heck, maybe not 1500. It's sad.

If you had all the stock parts to go back on you could go about it that way. If you have time it could be a way to make extra $$. Look on some of the other mustang sites to get an idea what comparable mustangs are selling for.

Keep it sounds like you have spent alot of money on it and you wont get any of it back if you sell it. I miss my cobra but it was impractical and a real PITA with the cops etc.
