newer koni yellow shocks $ 250-300.00
the whole suspension parted $ 200.00
the sunroof $ 50.00
the seats $ 100-150.00
You forget to add the time of parting, packing and shipping, if someone is going to buy your car to profit from parting it out there has to be a marging for profit. $ 1000.00 leaves a small marging, but if you want the 3k, than you will need to part it yourself and be prepare to sweat a lot, parting, packing the parts and shipping them on time. Good luck.

1) a non porsche enthusiast to buy it as a project (i.e. someone not on this board)
2) for me to part it myself
why $50 for the sun roof? here is one for $155 on ebay plus $27 shipping. this makes me think your prices are on the low end as what you would want to pay so you can then sell it for a profit (thus not very accurate and not reflective of real market values.)

here's another for $135 and $55 shipping

here's one without an interior for $105 plus $55 shipping

we all know ebay guys post lower prices and make back their money on shipping costs

no, I'm not saying for someone to buy it for parting... the only two options are for
1) a non porsche enthusiast to buy it as a project (i.e. someone not on this board)
2) for me to part it myself

lol, dude stick to soccer, those prices mean nothing they are asking prices, show me some that are completed for that amount and I will concede and where do you get that ridiculous idea that they make their money from shipping cost, rolfmao.
here is a list of completed items, the only one I see sold went for $ 9.99, now that's a reality check.

about shipping people knows little about shipping cost, first a sunroof is a delicate thing to ship it cracks easy if you drop it , so you need to wrap it with bubble wrap and find a large and strong box, because of the size and time to pack the thing $ 50.00 sounds reasonable.

dude-- not if you count your time. trust me, I just parted a 951 S. If I paid myself even $5 per hour to package and ship stuff, I would have lost quite a bit of money on shipping. and I still had people give me crap about my shipping costs !!!!!!

wow you really must have a Phd from Harvard to know all this... I'm sorry guys but I'm looking for some numbers, not a bunch of whining aholes who want to jump all over someone and put them down.
so please if you don't have some real world numbers backed by market data or facts, not just "he won't pay much for your car"... then please keep it to yourself
rennlist used to be fun when people actually tried to help each other, but its full of such aholes lately who just want to act like their $5000 porche is a really awesome car, I've heard other people complaining about this too and even people who no longer come to this board because of the lack of constructive help or support that exists here anymore, its like a bunch of loosers without the money to buy a real porsche sitting around trying act like big shots who don't even know that 944 and 951 light cover panels are the same thing... out of a whole 2 pages of replies its just full of BS and put downs and very little actual number values for parts of the car... saying "torn seats" won't get you much is USELESS... just look anywhere and you see totally mangled seats going for $150 all over rennlist and craigslist... you see blown transmissions going for money too... when parting a car you sell all the parts - and $100x30 = $3000 and wham I've made a profit, but wannabees like you guys aren't going to be the one's buying it.
and if I sound a little bitter, then take it and stuff it.
just my two cents worth

"I have a car that's not in very good shape but I want to make lots of money for it so please tell me I can charge people a mint for it, thx! And by the way I'll insult anyone who tries to argue different. Don't like it, stuff it!"
If you've got it all figured out, why ask for people's opinions?

on the other side you can ask me about the suspension, wiring, engine, exhaust, brakes, control arms etc. since I worked on all these parts and fixed them the way they were ment to be fixed and not the way you do things.
I pay a lot of money for my coffe. becouse when I drink it I want to taste it.
same thing with my cars. Cheap paintjob is worse than no paintjob.
and by the way your sunroof is missing the gasket imho.

You'd be very lucky to get $1500 for that car.
I bought my car for that much and it was a great working car, with luxuries such as second gear. Who painted that car? They got paint on the sidemarkers, door handles, wheels, and tail lights. It doesn't look like the turbo bumper was test fitted or sanded. Why do you have new konis, but MAJOR mechanical problems?
And just so you know, I'm not an "ahole looser" who doesn't know what I'm talking about. I just painted a 944 and it looks nothing like that sloppy job. Furthermore, why did you even paint it if you were considering parting it? The only thing you can do with a crap paint job is sand it down.
You ask a question and you didn't get the advice you wanted to hear, so you argue with us.
And to answer what you are actually asking: No, there is no magic way to make lots of money on that car without considerable work.
