I wouldn't even try to sell it after the radiator is damaged. You shouldn't even be starting the car if the radiator is damaged. So, if this is your car that you want to sell.. that's just plain idiotic.

HOLD.

Is this a real "Q" or a USDM with 'emblem modification'?

I would either;

a) fix the radiator then sell it as is
b) part it out

You could sell it with the broken radiator, I realize this. I didn't mean to sound rude in my first post. That was not my intention. I would not buy it though. But, someone who is looking for a good project, would probably get it. I've seen what happens to cars with a broken radiator though. Don't start the car. You should just tow it to be safe. Otherwise, you're going to have fluids all over the place and it's going to be a huge mess.

Good luck!

well, parting out means you sell pretty much everything you can... as for prices, you can look at other for sale threads to compare, you can just come up with a number that satisfies you, or you can charge Initial D tax and try to make a profit off of stuff you got from newbs.

do some research on prices for 240's in your area. Also if it only needs a front end and radiator then fix it yourself. Honestly you stand the best chance of making more money by parting it out and then junking the leftovers. If the interior is cherry then you could make some decent bank.
