parting out an entire car isn't as easy as many think.
A lot of parts will sit around for a long time, some stuff there is no demand for.
Also i see a lot of people asking for way more than a part is worth and if you don't know the common values then you're just hurting yourself.
If done properly and you know the market, demand and proper pricing, the car would be worth 2-5k in parts all depending on condition of specific high demand items.
Broken or less-than-mint parts are usually trash, so even if you don't know how to properly disassemble the car, you will lower the value.
As a running car, you're probably looking at 2-4k as well. That depends also on condition, finding the right buyer, proof of any work done etc. That also can take a lot of time too.
You're better off selling any performance parts like headers, TB, etc and then sell the shell as a roller. A 4th gen roller is worth no more than $800 imo. Few people want a hacked up project, which almost all rollers tend to be. People who will part the roller will not spend more than that buying one because then the profit for their time and experience is not there. And for what its worth, I find rollers all the time for under 1000.
