Yes, parting it out will get you more money.
A junkyard won't give you anything substatial for it no matter the condition. My Chevy Corsica I used to have was in absolutely beautiful shape. I was a couple states away, and the tranny went out. It was high miles, so we (my parents and I) decided to junk yard it instead of trying to find a mechanic out there, waiting on the repair, and not being able to hold the mechanic liable in case it wasn't fixed right, or instead of towing it home to fix. 3100 engine ran beautifully, interior/exterior were excellent, and it was loaded w/features. Only got 50 bucks for it.
Expect that or less, no matter whether you sell parts off it first or not. |
