You'll make more parting it out here, especially if the interior bits are in good shape, and especially if the interior is black. Also condition of headlights, tail-lights can make even more for you when you part out.
Alternator, crank pulley, climate control and gauge cluster (if they are working), ignition coils, coil packs, power steering pump, front lower control arms, trunk, and possibly trunk spoiler.

That's just the stuff that will sell decently quickish. The shells don't sell for much and if the motor is gone it won't sell for much more than the value of the shell, probably ~$700 or so, maybe $1k if the rest is in great shape, but you'll make more parting it out no matter what. Just depends on how much patience you have to take parts off and ship them out individually and answer questions and all that jazz.

 

Put a motor in it, you can get 1st gen 1UZ for damn near pennies on the dollar these days. You can find them all day in you pick it lots, for 200 bucks or so. Mileage really isn't too important.

 

The only problem is you cannot part out any vehicles here on Club Lexus. Your post count is minimal, and you're not a vendor. I saw a free rebuilt tranny AND a motor with 80k or so in the "pay it forward SC thread", both were free if you pickup, might be worth it.

 

Radiator $50

Head Gasket $38

Pretty hard to get another car for $88.

my $0.02
