In other words, it's better to part out AS LONG AS you're not spending more to rip the car apart than you will make by selling them separately. Let's face it, the modded car market is MUCH smaller than the regular car market and many people don't want the headaches associated with unsupported parts, no warranty, etc.

Good luck with your sale Pat. What are you replacing her with?

If I decide to go through with this, it looks like it'll be an Audi RS4. Since I'm no longer a civilian contractor(as of last friday) and now with the federal government again, what is most likely to happen is that I'm going to settle into work, keep the Z, get rid of the A4 and trade up to the RS4 for my Christmas '07 gift to myself. I have a strange emotional tie to that damn blue car that makes it hard to let go.
