The interior is soggy, and the car is (thanks to me) fairly well picked clean, but I'll take any part requests if you have them. They're parting out the engine, too. Spark plugs and fuel rail are gone.

Maybe I should grab the tranny and rear bumper cover before this thing gets crushed.

I fit a hood, two wheel skirts, a fender, a headlamp, a HV battery assy., the bumper cover, an aero panel, a toolbox, and a trolley jack in my Insight.

There was room for more.

Here's the best part: I paid $250 for all that! Check out my fine negotiation skills:

Me: How much do you want for the high voltage battery?
Guy: That thing has one? $15.
Me: You're kidding, right?
Guy: Nope.
Me: *shrug* Okay. $15.
