Totaled IX MR, what to do

Mods feel free to move if in wrong section.

So my gg got re ended on xmas pretty badly and it was a real sad moment in my life! Especially that i just purchased a jdm rear barely 2 months prior! Anyway, insurance gave me a settlement and i also decided to keep the car. Now what i need help on is whether i should attempt to sell the car as a whole or part out. Basically stock other than a ams turbo back (which now old the down pipe and test pipe are the only parts that werent bent in the collision), ingen intake,hks turbo timer, rexpeed carbon fiber center console and rexpeed trunk lip. T he leather recaros are still in very good condition, actually the interior looks really good and I still have the stock exhaust and wing. The front bumper and hood are almost in perfect condition. So again just need everyones advice on what i should i do. Oh and also the motor starts up fine however, in the collision pushed the chassis against the rear wheels so the rear wheels are not able to move. I ws planning on taking them off and trying to either bang that part off or something. Thanks everybody!

Man, this breaks my heart. I can tell your car was super clean and tastefully modded.

If you have the time and energy you'll make the most money parting out the car. If you can't, just sell it to someone who can.

That's a clean *** evo that sucks! parting it out would probably be best. You could probably sell the engine by itself for a majority of the price the whole car would go to for if someone wanted to buy it as a whole. I'd assume.

Thanks everybody for your concerns.
I will most likely part out unless I somehow get a substantial offer for it. Someone already has pm'd me about it so I shall see about that. If I do that I will sell based off the engine, front and interior, being that all those are still in great shape! The front brembo brakes and rotors are however gone because I'm keeping those for my 240 lol. I will be posting up Inthe part out section later today.

No I didn't..was about to go and buy the rear crash bar but never for around to it. I do have the stock bumper support still.
