I just bought it for very cheap and it's sitting in my driveway covered. 1989 240sx s13 pignose. It needs a coolant hose, rad flush, and fuel flush but other than that its good. Has 133,xxx mileage wise, all original. Transmission is damn near perfect, and the car even starts as is. Obviously it needs a little work and I could do that if I wanted but I'm just wondering what the best thing would be to do at this point. Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I just wasn't sure where to put it so I put it here haha. The interior is all original and very clean with the exception of the typical cracked dash. Exterior needs paint badly(Has original on it now in silver) and other than some rust under the spoiler and a dent in the driver side front fender its all good. Has power windows, and sunroof also. Has the original rims, which are actually in great condition. I have a clean MD title for it too. I'm not too set on what to do yet so I just thought I'd come here for some insight. Thanks guys and have a good day.

Parting out takes a while and you just have stock parts. Why not just sell it? Drift tax should net you a pretty good price.

Fix it and sell it.

No point in bastardizing a fine working car/chassis for $200 bucks.

yeah like the other users said, parting out is a long process before you actually get rid of the full car.. youll have a few buyers here and there for popular parts .. but then you'll just have after awhile a car that you cant get rid of or make a profit off of it. the car sounds like its fine youll find someone to sell it.. hell if i could i would get it but your too far... i would maybe even trade you my 86 celica gts for it cuz its having some trouble but runs healthy.

Good luck, its up to you ultimately but i think it would be your best interest to sell full car or keep it. parting out will just basically be taking another perfectly good and potential car off the roads and into a junk yard to be crushed when you cant sell everything.
