Hi Chuck, I bought one back in February for $600cdn with 305,000KM a seized engine and a known to be not very good transmission. Parting it out put 4 NEW michelins already mounted and balanced AND a pair of captains chairs in my westfakia. Selling the other components recovered my investment plus there was a bit left over to pay for towing. It took two-and-a-half weekends to part it out.
