it's green, some rust on the quarters, a torn seat, and a broken sunroof switch, and a blown motor, the rest is okay.

It's a tough time to sell parts. No one has cash or is willing to spend it. Read the posts in the parts forum to see for yourself.

A lot of parts will eventually sell and it may take a little longer to get your $500 back. I've parted 3 Q's and these are the parts that are most asked for as well as easiest to remove and ship, in excellent condition of course:

MAFInjectors/fuel rail and harnessKS harnessFuel PumpFPCUECUWindow regulatorsPower window amplifier (DF door)Side view mirrorsHeadlamp assembliesTurn signalsFront license plate frameRear view mirrorDome light assembliesShifter knob (if like new)Any front leather especially seat back and bottom and center armrest.Center ashtrayBurl trimBlack trim set ( if it doesn't have holes in it from the burl trim)Speaker ampsMain engine harness to ECUTBAir tubeIAC valveEGR valveFront calipers (for the 240 guys)Rotors (for the 240 guy that buys your calipers)5 lug hubs (for the 240 guys)Sunroof motorAntenna and motorCarpet setBrake lamp sensorStarter relayFront fenders if you feel like shipping large parts

That should be enough to get you started. Good luck.

From what I can tell, the most valuable single part on the car (if it doesn't have TCS) is the throttle body. I recently sold one on eBay for $100. Even the once sought-after MAF isn't bringing more than about $25 on eBay.

One of my favoirte tricks is to go on to eBay and run an advanced search for auctions where something that you have has sold. Find the one that sold for the most and copy that ad word for word.

I even (gasp) spelled Infiniti with a "y" at the end in my auction - since apparently that's what the Supra guys are looking for...

Good luck!
