What Is A 2005 D3 4.2 Quattro Worth In Parts?
I know this is not an easy query to respond to, but on average, what would a D3 as in the title be worth in parts?
Are these cars worth more in parts, than as a complete car? I am NOT posting a "breaking car" here, just testing the waters.

The answer presumably, would depend on how you account for the costs/time associated with disassembly, storage, disposal of hazardous materials, etc. etc.

They tend to range between £3000 - £4500. A big variation, I know.

D3 is a specialist car, not many round so dare I say not much demand for parts.
The only things worth anything would be the engine, gearbox and suspension struts, and you'd have to budget on these taking some considerable time to sell. The electronic gubbins could sell but a lot of it is subject to component protection, so useless without a dealer visit to pay them to remove it. Plus you'd not be able to advertise on here, so you'll be restricted in marketplace and having to sell via ebay along with all the competiton.

Gearbox and engine might be big bits but it will be hard to shift them as demand is very low. Money will depend greatly from the condition of parts. Bumpers, body panels, interior, lights should sell reasonably well and bring in money depending on condition. Suspension parts, electrical bits and retrofit extras should sell as well.

Thanks for the responses so far guys!
 She'll have to go at some point though, as I've pulled the trigger on a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 Double Cab 5.7 Hemi King Ranch edition. Once she arrives from NA, I won't really have the need for the A8. I've got the A4 Quattro and my Toyota Hilux 4x4 single cab, so keeping the A8 AND keeping her insured isn't financially viable. The Ram is being shipped via Baltimore.

I apologise for posing this question, it would appear car breaking questions are a sensitive issue, regardless of how innocent the queries are.
