My man's take was that the bidder(s) saw the salvage ticket but didn't bother to find out why it had been written off.. Even if you have a motor/tranny for it it's still a minimum $1,500 labour to do the swap and you still have a salvage tick on the records.. I can buy a perfectly functional 1994 9000 2.3T Aero for about $4,000 in central Canada and that, I fear, is where I am going to end up if this kind of silliness is the current state of the knowledge bank here.. -- J Dexter - webmaster - http://www.dexterdyne.org/ all tunes - no cookies no subscription no weather no ads no news no phone in - RealAudio 8+ Required - all the Time Radio Free Dexterdyne Top Tune o'be-do-da-day Louis Jordan - Ain't Nobody here but us Chickens http://www.dexterdyne.org/888/166.RAM
