i wrecked a 1988 300e...my fault..no one hurt...
anyway.. i was able to part out misc parts for 600.... and keep front rotors, front calipers... a/c, ovp, and fuel relays...
...then i was able to sell the rest of the car whole for 1600. this car had about 115k original miles and was in good shape.
i sold off wood, some interior door parts, rear lights...radio.. i can't remember everything...oh muffler and tail pipe, car mats, belly pan... you get the idea.
Dealing with the people was not the easiest in the world... people say yes..then use your deal against you with another person.
i held my ground... anyway a car that I had paid 3500 for... i was able to get 2200 back plus some nice spares for myself.
the guy who wanted the hole car ...wanted the windshield... complete mint interior...some interior wiring harness... the engine.... i think the transmission he was going to re-sell or keep as a spare. He drove 12 hours with a flatbed to pick it up... i fed him spaghetti and he was on his way back.
i think all involved got a good deal. I had a garage to keep the car in.
i did this with an infiniti Q45 as well... although i parted that out piece by piece... a wrecker service gave me 100 for the shell... i was told that they get 3-400 for shells..
