The 2004 Prius and the 2000 Accord ended auction at noon. Both "run and drive," but that does not mean they would get me very far, nor that they would be safe for 165 miles of mountains and canyons.
The Prius went for $70, but I do not care to part out a car that does not have anything specific that I could put to use. The Accord went for $375 and the minimum bid would have been $400, plus $384 in fees, and $334.65 to ship. That totals $1,118.65 on a car worth $1,335 - $2,918 before it was wrecked.
I am sure that I could have made back the cost and hopefully with some profit, but it just seems like it would take too much time and effort before I made back my money. I loved the idea of a relatively-low mileage engine and transmission, but why would I replace either in this car?
