    Is it worth it to part out?

    i got the car as a straight trade for a 240sx project car that ran like shit. the engine was rebuilt, so i took the chance that maybe the head was torqued properly, but obviously not. i am in tough financial times right now and trading for the supra was the best deal i could find. it ran perfect...

    Is it worth it to part out?

    yeah. i hate to do it, but theres no other option for me right now. if i had a place to store it and another vehicle, i would definitely be keeping it and doing the work myself. it seems pretty straight forward. i am just in a tough spot and theres no other roads to take except getting rid of...

    Is it worth it to part out?

    sorry to say, but i cant fix the car. he said 1100 with labor and parts, then if the head needs to go to a machine shop its another how many hundred. I cant do that right now and have nowhere to store the car and possibly fix it myself later on. A local guy is hopefully gonna buy it for $800...

    Is it worth it to part out?

    Is it worth it to part out?

    ^^^ believe me, i've asked that. he wouldnt be able to let me borrow a bay since its a small shop with only 2 bays and his lot is full with customer cars. I would rather do it myself, but time is my biggest problem. I am in engineering school which doesnt leave me much free time. and the free...

    Is it worth it to part out?

    i know what is entailed in a partout. i parted out a 97 tiburon and made my money back and then some. its just another option that is going through my head. thats why i was just wondering about the market right now.

    Is it worth it to part out?

    Hey. Last night my head gasket blew (pretty damn sure thats what happened) on my 89 turbo and had to get it towed to a family friends shop. Tomorrow (Monday) he is gonna take a look at it and see what the damages are and how much it will be to fix it. Im guessing around $800 or so? Just a guess...

    New MKIII Turbo Owner From WI

    HAHA!! Yeah I figured it was that time. I'm looking forward to all the great advice and help I know I will get from this forum. Thanks everyone as well! The supra runs a hell of a lot better than the 240sx I had. It needs some TLC, but nothing major.
