Im thinking about parting out our 1996 Accord 2.2L. It runs fine but is a complete eyesore not much clearcoat one door that is a different color. I could probably sell it for $800-$1000 I suspect.

If I parted it out what $$ should I expect?

How much work/time would be involved?

I dont live near a big metro area so that concerns me a little bit about audience for some of the larger parts.

 

Look at car-part.com to get a feel for prices on used engines, trans, etc and estimate your total return. You will need to sell a lot of parts to get $1000 and you may wait a long time to get that total.

If you're intent on no further use of car, suggest an outright sale. If you consider your time worth anything, this is a better return.

good luck

 

I'm with Texas. Honda parts arent exactly worth a lot, and they are pretty common. I would just get what you could get as a whole.

I had bins upon bins of 94-97 accord parts I ended up turning in for scrap metal.

 

Thanks for the advice. I didnt consider the length of project I guess it would be long time. Thats a lot of my wife asking when I'm going to get rid of it.

 

You just sealed the deal, you try parting that thing out and you'll most likely end up single.

 

I just sold my 98 ex coupe last week. The previous owner did a crappy diy paint job and it looked more like a purple zebra.
It ran great and had 182k miles. I sold it for 1500. The guy drove almost 4 hours 1 way to get the car. He bought it for his wife and didn't want car payments. Lookup the kbb value and post on Craigslist. There is always someone looking for a vehicle.
