Part it out

+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...

bay area craiglist or sac craigs list... someone will bite man,, just be patient ! (if you can)

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.

what did you have done to the car?
