Bought a car for 200$. Engine blown. Parting out.

I bought a 2002 Audi A4 Quattro V6. The kid who owned it previously blew the motor up, and is stupid enough that he sold it to me for $200. So to get the money's worth out of this thing, what can I sell out of it that is worth the most money? I know that the catalytic converters are worth a decent amount, but other than that what parts usually are in high demand on eBay? What internal parts should I dig out of the engine bay, suspension, and computer systems that are worth alot??

Not speaking of just A4's but what parts generally out of all vehicles similar are worth the trouble? I plan to probably scrap it at the end

I would think transmissions, drive axle assemblies, brake calipers, aluminum radiator, computers etc. would bring the most. If tires are decent might get something for those. Scrapping it as-is would get you $300-$400 in my area. Might be worth the effort to remove any aluminum parts yourself for recycling, as it usually brings a lot more per pound than steel or mixed materials.

Its got about 220k miles, how much would you think that transmission is worth with that many?

Hmm, probably not so much, unless there was someone desperate for one.
