IMO selling the car whole will be a lot easier and faster, breaking will mean you make more money over a long period of time.

Keep the IS together and sell it. Perhaps break the 325 if it's rusted, if you have time.. I've never broke a car to sell on in parts, but would imagen its alot of effort and time if you've got it..

Loads of time + storage when breaking as whilst some bits will sell fairly quickly, others will not sell for months on end.
