Default Sell complete or part?

In a financial bind.
Can't sell my 944 for half of what I paid for it.

Here are pics.
should I continue to try to sell it and if so what is it worth whole?
Should I part it and if so what is it worth in parts and how long can I expect to make any money back?
Please don't tell me to use search.. the economy has changed so much since I purchased this car...


NEW Front Tires...
























\

Thanks for all the advice in advance...

you have to hold out sometimes for someone who is near you to buy the car

throw the car on Craiglist

if this was near me I'd take it

if you can't wait, you can definetly part it out and make some money back

looks like a nice car, depending on mileage and maintainence, id say you might be able to get $4000 tops. mabey more if your lucky.

but it does seem to nice to part, let it go to a good home in one peice.

Thanks...
But I have it on craigslist and listed here for $1300 and it hasn't sold.
I doubt I could get $4K for it.

Maybe if it was a turbo...

eBay !! that is the most exposure. people buy cars in this condition alot of times for racing or to really fix. in that condition, judging from the pics, 4K is not the price of that car. if your lucky, 1500$ tops IMO.

try ebay, that should give you your best shot. that car can be a good candidate for a parts car. best of luck with sale.

If I were closer I would be all over that car. It has a lot of good life left.
