Think I could make money off this? I would probably buy the whole thing, and part it out. I would also check with the body shop repairing my truck if they would want to use some of the front end parts. What do you think, is there a market for lots of these parts, or mainly just a few?

What has me really tempted is the fact that I sold my old wheels for $400, so that's almost all of it right there. What do you guys think? Buy it and part it out, or move on?

I know if you brought that vehicle in to us right now as junk, we'd give you $350. So at the price it's listed, I don't think you would have any problems making money on it.

If you have the time and space for it, definitely.


Now on your yukon repair, why not get all new GM. Are you having it done at a dealer?

The line "HABLO ESPANOL" always scares me for one simple reason..... Most of the time it means that the vehicle doesn't come with a title. Never, under any circumstance, buy a car newer than 1986 without one. Even if its free.

Buy it & part it out. Doesn't need a title for if you're not gonna register it.
I just paid $800.0 for a box for my '98. Mind you, it's damn near perfect.
If you were closer, I'd give you $200.00 for the complete front doors, right now, and another $75.00 for the power door harness.
Around here there is a huge demand for GMT400 parts. Within a week of getting to the wreckers, complete trucks are nothing but a shell left
Just make sure that you have the room for it. In your area it may be different & it could be hangin' around for a while, while it gets picked over.

Parting out a stolen vehicle doesn't make it less stolen.

well IF IN DOUBT ABOUT STOLEN simply snap a picture of the vin and call the cops to have the vin checked first! if its stolen then tell them where its at.. good karma... if its not stolen then your good to buy it if you want ;)
and its all about condition when selling parts.

If it has a title then I'd buy it for that and not feel bad. A 4L60 is cheap to rebuild. I just wouldn't touch it without proof of ownership(not just a past registration receipt with someone else's name on it). I made that mistake once and never could get the car registered.
