Standard is crap now, it use to be good 10yrs ago but not now.
i was just as shocked as you when i saw it... this was about 3 1/2 years ago... it wasn't it perfect condition but still for the price i don't think one could have gone wrong..

you obviously have to pay for whatever you take out...

You may be able to get away with little sensors but other than that you have to pay...

and I wouldnt try to get away with small stuff as they have cameras around

Love goin to the wreckers!

Usually take in a crap load of tools...never know what you're gonna need...

I grabbed a bunch on knock sensor for my old volvo a couple years back and the guy said just take em. Same thing with some injectors. Most of the guys their are pretty easy to talk to/negociate. About 5 years back I took out a volvo turbo and they wanted almost $200 for it, but I got them to come down to $100.
