Question For What It Is Worth

Junk yards in your area are charging $300 to $700 for that motor.
I say split the difference and sell for $500.
I have no clue what Salvage Title means in WI.
In Va. it means the car was totaled by an insurance company, purchased by someone who wanted to fix it, repaired by same, Inspected by DMV, and deemed safe for re-entry to the system.
The repairer is not obligated in any way to use year model parts.
I thought your lights were wrong when I saw the first pictures of the Metro.
You may have an older front clip welded to a newer back half.
Look underneath for recent paint, or undercoating or visible welding.
This is no reason to condemn your ride.
Just info to be aware of.Again I have no Idea what it means in WI.
But I don't think it could be too far off from VA.
Stay on track. We're all pulling for you.
