(Sceneario); A 2004 MM, the exterior is a 9 out of 10, the interior a 9 1/2, tires and undercarriage a 9, and the motor at 200,000 with a lower bearing noise. (Question) : What are all of the combined Values of this car as a whole if you were to Part-out. Opinions ??? 5,000, 6,000 ??

$4500.

If you replace the engine you still have a 200,000 mile car.

Parts might be worth more, but labor and grief will offset the sale proceeds.

Pretty high marks for a 200k car. Have to see that one.

Got mine for 2k with 69k and it needed a motor. Yeah I know it was a great deal :D
4500 may be right if you parted it out. If your trying to sell as a whole:dunno: 2500 at best but I'm a cheapskate :lol:

My car is not for sale. What I'm getting at is that all the parts are in demand and hold good resale value IE ; transmission, axle, cai, lights, bumpers, wheels, interior trim, seats, components, console, and so on. What I was asking was that a car as described would be worth quite a bit of cash and what value you guys would put on it.

It is only worth a couple of thousand. If you part it. there is a lot of work taking it apart and shipping the pieces. You will only get a couple of thousand as the worn parts (engine trans rear axle) are worthless with that mileage.
If the interior is in good shape and you want to keep it, you might look at buying a wrecked Marauder. Switch out the engine, trans, driveline, rear axle. Document that it has a new drivetrain just in case you have bad luck and need to collect insurance later.
I did not have the time so I purchased another Marauder.
