If you want fast cash with little effort, then you should sell your car whole. Parting your car out can get you more money but it requires a lot of work. Not only do you need the time, but you also need the knowledge to remove and sell all the parts.
Selling whole benefits people who need money quickly, lack mechanical skills and tools to complete the process, and have no space to keep a disassembled car.
Parting out benefits people who have time and space, the skills and tools to remove all the parts, and a vehicle with high-demand parts. Popular vehicle parts will sell more quickly than a specific import vehicle that could sit for a while.
If you choose to part the vehicle out, you will be left with the shell of the vehicle, and junk car buyers, along with scrap yards, will still purchase the shell.
Check current scrap car prices to estimate what the body is worth.
