sell the car, or part out?

im looking for some advice on what to do with my 06 evo mr. earlier today i lost control and went over the curb and went into a tree, my left front fender got smashed. now it looks like i have frame damage and will not be fixing the car. so im just posting up here to see what everyone thinks, should i try to sell it as is? OR part it out? i just have all bolt ons but id be selling the doors seats.... EVERYTHING and once everything is gone ill sell the shell. let me know what you guys think. i should also add the car DOES run. ill get the pics up tomorrow so everyone can tell me what they think.

You went over a curb and its gonna total the car? If your insurance is tryin to tell you its totaled, you better look into it.

Just because a cop or the insurance said it's totaled doesn't mean it's totaled. You are going to lose ALOT of money!

Staying between the two options you've asked about I would part it out. Reson being is alot of people on this forum (possibly the biggest group of "evo people" around) seem to think a wrecked car, even if rebuilt, has little value anymore when compared to a non-wrecked car. With this reasoning the car as a whole may not pull near the money that pulling off parts and selling them indiviually would. My $.02.
