Re: Worth it to buy whole donor vehicle vs just engine?
I bought a complete 2007 Yukon Denali from Copart. Had $4500 total in it including the cost to go pick it up and all the fees. Pulled everything off it that I wanted/needed and then sold the roller for $1k. I kept engine, trans, t-case, radiator, seats, wiring, stereo and a few other odds and ends I thought may come in handy. I found a few other items that I overlooked like the obd connector but nothing major. Having a matching powertrain was very valuable for my purpose and saved me a pile. In my experience it was very valuable having the complete donor vehicle but ymmv.
