I have been watching videos by a guy calling himself Samcrac, who mentioned ChrisFix, but says not to use Dashub, which CF recommends, but instead Copart. Copart seems much easier to use. I put in "HX" and it showed me eleven cars!

Only one has a manual transmission. One does not have a transmission or an engine. That means nine are autocraptastic!

The thing is...

They have the same engine, so if I put one in my car I would still have lean burn, right?

They do not show $488 in fees that Dashub lists, so are those hidden? I do not know that it would be worth transporting a Civic with 202,000 miles from Las Vegas. There is one that runs and drives with 151,000 miles in San José, but that would be $862.50 to ship. I am from there, but neither paying that much to ship nor driving a salvage car 850 miles through the desert sound like a good idea.

Accords, though...

How about this? It is the wrong color, but only the bumper has any issues. Much of it is under white gorilla tape, and I can eventually sand it down and repaint. It would not quite match, but who cares?!

This one has the factory alloy rims. I found a place on car-part selling four for $50, but they said one was too damaged. Another place said they had one for $75, but when I called they were useless.

It might have a good catalytic converter!

They would charge $334.65 to ship. It says that it runs and drives. The damage is to the passenger doors.

It only has 117,500 miles!

I contacted the owner of the 1996 Civic with 150,000 miles, but he has not responded.
