Hi Chuck,

I bought one back in February for $600cdn with 305,000KM a seized
engine and a known to be not very good transmission.

Parting it out put 4 NEW michelins already mounted and balanced AND a
pair of captains chairs in my westfakia. Selling the other components
recovered my investment plus there was a bit left over to pay for
towing. It took two-and-a-half weekends to part it out.

Happy trails,

Greg Potts
