From the link in my sig,

You can see that my Mystique is going ot be written off, it's not driveable anymore and I ahve to wreck it.

I need help beause I had third party insurance and wasn't able to get anything for this, so I need to part it out:

I've already collected parts taht Im going to sell....

K&N 3530,
RIMS w/ Tires.
Working Sunroof motor with BRAND NEW WEBASTO gear
it's greased up and worked for me all HOT summer last summer.


But I don't know what/HOW to get rid of the other stuff, I.e.
The rebuilt Tranny + Engine (256,500 KM running really well).
New Oil pan --> part of the engine,

And other suck parts. The leather seats in the back are in EXCELLENT condition and are Grey, I could remove them if anyone was interested in them. If there are any parts that I should salvage before scrapping the car, let me know, I wouldn't mind, one of the doors is in good shape as well. The car is silver frost.
 
256,500 KM = about 159,382 miles to save someone the question. You might have to try and part out your engine, plugs, wires, intake manifolds, headers even. (for someone who gutted their precats, perhaps) Finding a buyer for msot of the engine stuff is going to be tough, though.

also intact body panels, rear/brake lights, even switches for the lights/hvac can probably fetch "something" if ebay can find a buyer.

you're going to have trouble getting much for a motor w/ that many miles on it though, imo.

A good idea, for the stuff that you can't find any buyers for, is to just throw it up on ebay. for an idea of what sells, just look what else is up there. (ie, headlights are worth at least 15 a piece, so long as someone wants to buy em)
 
Take the MAF too.It might take awhile to sell though.

Mine just died and the Ford stealerships here in Alberta wanted $470 for a new one. I bought a used one at the wreckers for $100 as the local Pick A Part didnt have any V6 contours at the time. I went back a week later and sure enough, there now was a V6. So I got a spare MAF for $20.
