Don't think your going to be very happy with the answer.....

The two major items are engine and transmission.

Engine - down here a "Feroza" engine from a Daihatsu wrecker is quoted at around $1000 ( with a guarantee ... whatever ) but that's a sucker price as an Applause engine costs around $250 removed from a self service wrecker. You have to / get to pick and choose but that's a good thing.

Trans - again around a grand seems to be the price and here your on stronger ground as there is no alternative. You won't have the guarantee that a wrecker offers but.....

The other stuff is a lottery - unless there's a strong local Feroza market, you might struggle as freight costs and unseen purchases could be a issue.
No ones going to pay a grand for an unseen transmission and then $500 for freight if they can get one locally.

I'd try and sell it complete - I don't really think your going to easily get much more for the parts and its not going to be easy or fast.

As Feroza's are getting a bit old in the tooth now, they are immediately written off after accidents so most reusable parts are usually in reasonable supply.

So given luck, time and local buyers you might get $2000.

that would be better than i would have even hoped for. Will talk to the local wreckers in the morning.
