totaled car- donation vs parting, easily removable parts?
musegrlz asked:
what are the simplest parts to remove from a car? Engine, transmission and mechanics appear to be fine the car is basically alright but needs repairs that I can't afford and think aren't worth. Airbags and left front end need to be fixed/replaced and it would be equal to the car's market value to fix the hood, lights, windshield etc. The car is not a true wreck but the salvage yard I towed it to is only willing to give me $200 for a 1997 toyota convertible! Basically every part of the car is worth more than $200,so I'm planning to take some basic parts off to make a few dollars and then donate it or selling to another yard…any suggestions on which parts to start w/

You won't get nearly as much as you think you should when donating.
Do you have a place to put the car as you remove parts? Some cities don't allow that if the car can be seen from the street.
Searching Ebay motors will give you an idea of what parts are common and their prices.
Once you take the 'good' parts off, you'll probably have to pay a salvage yard to take it. That's how they make their money. And you'll need to have the car towed there.
