"Deal or no deal" to part it out, or to buy the car in the first place? What are you asking?

If you bought it to part out the major things, plan on huge shipping costs that people don't want to pay for, or can't afford. I shipped a diff to TX last month at a cost of $58. A transmission will be well over $100.

Huge parts = huge shipping costs.

so i mean the tran has to be worth 250 even if i need it for myself, the rear end should be worth 250 even i want to use it for myself. what im saying, would i be able to buy a tranny,rear end,wheels,glass ect. for 250$ for my own use. even if i dont sell parts of it. i wanted the spoiler for my car. its hard to find a nice stock spoiler for my car for 250 am i right? how much would you sell me a rear end for? how much would you sell me a tranny for ? im just wondering if $250 was worth it?

It's all relative. If you can use the majority of the parts on your cars, then sell off anything else, $250 is a good deal. But usually junk yards only charge $30-$70 for differentials, transmissions, etc. So if you bought a car for $250 for a $30 diff, you got screwed.

I have a complete rear end suspension, diff, half shafts, trailing arms, shocks, springs etc. for sale on CL right now for $100. NA 71C trans for $125, spoiler for $40. All of the most desirable parts are from the doors forward.

I guess it depends on where you live. Here in the Puget Sound region of WA state, Z31's are a dime a dozen and used one's and parts are cheap.
