Default would parting out a car be more lucrative?

Ive been wondering lately what the advantages would be to parting out a complete car as opposed to selling it outright.. This would be a 94 SC4 with 200k that I could sell for $4,000. I'm thinking it would probably be one huge headache parting it out. What do you guys think?

sell it as is... part out the wheels if they are really nice aftermarket ones.

If you can sell it as-is then do it. I'm almost done parting my car out... I've got to say its been a really big headache... Its great as far as learning about the car and learning how to pull things out...

But unless you have a good amount of time and space to store stuff I wouldn't do it. I guess I'd be singing a different tune if the weather was warmer...

Yea space is what is going to be the kicker...If I could have the whole garage for just my car do it, I might be able to pull it off. Then again, cash in hand selling "as is" is always a good thing!

Ponder this. Will you actually be able to sell all the parts ? will they sell right away ?
Sell the car and its all gone at once. Cash in hand
