Hi All, Having everything pulled for you is great advantage over just buying the whole car. Although, I do buy the whole thing myself. It is nice to know all of the parts. and since you're the one removing them knowing how how & where they all go! My point here is to realize & keep in mind the time & effort required to pull the engine, wiring etc. It took me (although I'm slow :o) three days to completely dismantle everything and take the shell to the crusher. & I usually get a lot of the purchase price back by selling the body parts, transmission etc. (although there is a good investment in time doing this as well) So, if you see an Engine, Wiring and cats, mounts etc. for 3K, I'd say that's a pretty good deal! Don't try to compare it with a running car selling for 1500. my 2cents. peace, John C... SLC, UT...
