If you want to sell it here, try listing it in one of the links I gave you above.....but no "fishing" for buyers in open forum please.

not fishing...just looking for someone to chime in with some sort of junkyard parts place in the bay area that would buy the whole thing

+1 Salvage yards only make money by buying cars for less than they think they can part them out for, so I highly doubt they'd give you as much for it as you could get parting it out yourself...

Get it back! I got mine back for a bit more than that, but ended up selling it for $5000! Of course, mine was still driving; just no front end, hood, fenders, or air bags. I had mine on Ebay for 3 days before I had 4 local guys wanting to come look at it. I had the buy it now set at 5000, and one guy brought cash. I took it, and avoided most of ebay's huge car fees.

Yep. Thats correct. I work in sales at a large salvage yard and we buy 10-15 cars at auction every 2 days. Having sat at my desk buying cars at online auctions, I can tell you that 12K is never going to happen. Wrecked 99-04 V6 mustangs can be had for 2500 bucks all day long. Most yards will not buy cars if you walk in because we need full titles along with salvage title paperwork to back up airbag sales, and air bag modules.

You are better off selling this as a private sale. Yards will not give you more than 3 grand I bet.
