I had good luck with Craigslist, Ebay and the forum.....mind you costs have went up since then but like I said in earlier post...its a job and you have to treat it as such to make money

Good luck in whichever direction you go - as said, parting out can be a job.

It took a week on FB
And about 100 messages
Most of them ... rage inducing
In the end, I had two serious buyers, I had to choose the one that was more insistent
I did it but I wouldn't do it again

Probably best to sell as a whole. 220k is a lot of miles. Should have been a no-brainer to get 3-4k out of it...
