Is an unrepairable MX-3 worth parting?

[chrishayden]

Hi,
I have a 1994 Mazda Mx-3 4cyl, it is beyond repair due to rust issues. It has a good interior, and runs ok. Is it worth parting out? Or should I just scrap it?
I know that's not a lot of information but I can try to answer any questions.
Thanks

Not really, not especially on this forum. You'd want to look at ebay and you may be holding on to parts for a while.
I would buy the shift plate from you (the one that bolts to the body, has 4 studs/nuts, and holds the shifter up) for $20.
if it is mechanically in good shape, may want to consider finding a 94-95 mx3 with a good body and bad engine, swap the engine real quick, then either keep or sell it as a complete car. Then scrap the junk mx3. I made 280 scrapping an RS recently.

Is it an auto or a manual?

You could probably make some decent cash selling off the powertrain and some suspension bits.

Its an automatic, and Im thinking I m going to bring it to the scrap yard. I don't think many people around here are looking for parts and shipping charges will be more expensive then parts themselves.

OP you should still post a parting out thread. Who knows maybe someone might be looking for something. I also agree on having it on ebay too.
