I recently found out that another car I thought had sold is in fact mine again- the buyer backed out due to lack of funds. I'm considering keeping it (a Volvo station wagon) and getting rid of the Montero. However, the Montero has enough issues that it would be HARD to get rid of on the used vehicle market- a phantom transmission electric issue that comes and goes at mysterious times, body damage from a previous accident, and 210k miles. I am currently using it as my daily driver, but I wouldn't expect someone else to do the same unless at least the tranny issue was fixed. If I lived closer to a large city I might be able to find an interested party, but I'm in rural Iowa.

Because of this, I'm thinking of selling it piecemeal. I'm sure the engine and transmission are both worth something, as are all the bits on it- but given that I currently live in an apartment, I can't exactly part it out myself. Sure, I could take it to a salvage yard, but it seems completely wrong to drive a functioning vehicle to a salvage yard under its own power to have it wholly scrapped just because of an intermittent electrical issue and cosmetic ugliness. Is there any kind of middle ground between the used vehicle market and the scrapyard if I don't have the ability to part it out myself?
