Sorry for your loss, Donald. As for parting, take what you can use off of it as log as you have a place to store it, and scrap the car. Parting it to sell off parts requires a significant commitment of time and resources, and unless there are a few items that have significant value, isn’t worth the effort to do so.
Considering your current situation, I don’t see how you could possibly benefit from parting it out except to get the parts you can use yourself for your other car. -D > On Jan 17, 2018, at 4:11 PM, Donald Snook via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Its been a while since I emailed.
