I bought a 2004 Escalade ESV Platinum with a bad fuel pump off of Craigslist for $2000. After parting it out and trading for parts I needed, I made roughly a $2500 PROFIT and had a FREE LQ9, 4L80, TAC, pedal, and still had a lot of parts left that I gave away. If you have the space, time, and want to, buying a complete donor is the way to go. I could have made quite a bit more, but sold a lot of it pretty cheap and didn't really have the space to store stuff and sell everything I could have.
