When to make a car a parts car?

Thanks everyone. What you guys said is what I would have said to someone asking that same question, it’s a decision only you can make. It’s a 6 cylinder with good parts but might be more hassle than it’s worth to part it out. And I wouldn’t have to have parting out a good car on my mind. The parts I need don’t add up to 5k in value for me and don’t want to loose money on a parts car.
