Sell whole chassis or part out?

[TFB]

I have a 2011 pro assault 800 that the motor was destroyed. The chassis and all components are like new, but I've never had to sell a sled without a motor. I'm looking for advice from those of you that have parted a sled out. Is it better to sell the unit as a whole, or is it worth the time of parting out? Any thought would be appreciated.

If you got the time, part it out. You can make much more $$$ on the parts.
In that case, I am looking for a good cond snow flap

Taking everything apart isnt the problem, thats easy. The PITA part is listing everything, replying to offers, collecting the money and then taking the time to pack and ship everything. It just comes down to Time vs Money, How much time do you want to take to get more money for the parts. Eric

I agree. Never done a complete part out, but I've sold a few parts here and there and usually regret doing it for all the hassle it turns into. Just my two pennies.

IDK? I have sold 2 rolling chassis and parted one out. Having said that, they were all Edge chassis. If things are still equal in the snomo world I would sell them as rollers. Identify what kind of money you want for each major component (e.g., track, shocks, a arms, rear skid, seat, etc., etc.) I would think you would be in the money between 2,200 - 3,000 if the chassis is in as good a shape as you say it is. I have always gotten more for rollers than parts.

If you need cash now, start unbolting parts and listing them and hit the swap-meets. Just my 2 cents. Good luck!!!

If I was you I would try and find someone looking for a complete chassis for a project. Otherwise you gotta deal with ^what they said and getting low balled on everything 5x over.

Sell it whole.

The parts bit is a pain in the A$$.

What ballpark figures are you thinking you'd pull in either way?

You may be in good shape yet, to either find an engine, or scrounge parts to build one. Then obviously sell it running. Thats what i would be doing, without a doubt.

I view it a little differently.

If I were buying a roller, I would like it as complete as possible so I could source an engine and any other various parts. I would be pricing the roller chassis, engine, other parts to come up with a finished price. This price would have to be cheaper than what I could buy a complete sled for, if not a little less to offset my time to run all the parts down and install.

This pretty much nails it!!! What is your time worth and what are you willing to do and put up with????

keep in mind you probably will not sell everything
