Default wrecked 1998 GS300

Hey I have friend who bought this gs from auction but never actually got around to fixing it. He parted some parts out but his thinking about selling it to junk yard. What do you guys think junk yard or part it out? Which way is smarter.

ouch that is an eye sore, but if he sells that to the junk yard how much would he get? 400?

i dont know what parts could be salvaged but IF he could get some parts sold, he'd come off better than junking it, me personally, dont have the patience for that, and I would junk it. but if he has time and patience, part it, may be able to sell the right side doors.

I personally wouldnt buy anything under the hood if it was exposed like that

if the engine is in good order, that could be worth a decent amount.

For a sec i thought it was a 430..

Guys I've removed a few callout posts for parts from the thread... please don't get this post closed by making it a FS thread.

The OP (or his friend) don't have enough posts to part out a car on our forum - way too many issues with new members parting out cars in the past. Please see our classified forum rules on part outs for more details.

yeahhhh... i would be interested in a part but they should be put in classified section of the forum...

i'd part the car out if you have time on your hands, rebuild is just going to be ridiculous... junk it if you don't have time
