Last time I was at Baughmans In york PA they had a slightly molested insight mostly front exterior panels missing and a big sign on the Hood saying DO NOT TOUCH! lol They are high price to begin with and I'm pretty sure they know what they have...

I don't even go to most junkyards south of Harrisburg. Usually a bad idea for me, I get in fights with people who think they're sitting on a gold mine.

Since you're in Central PA, it might be far from you, but Harry's UPullIt is a great place with nice prices. You pay $2 to get in, but it's worth it. The entry fee keeps the douche bags out.

Heard of Harry's and also EZ pull nearish Hburg, It's popular with the offroading group I wheel with.

But when I'm looking for a bargain I go to the yards in rural areas their prices make sense. Baughmans charges about 75% of new.

You right about the “forum drooling” this type of finds are like landing on the moon with parachutes. I wish down here in the south and this mosquito bites people knew at least what a insight is. One guy told me that when he saw an insight at first he thought it was a giant vacuum cleaner for wall-mart or something.
The closest insight in U-Pull it is like 500 miles away me. It would be better for me to cut me some swamp trees make me a boat and sail of the Japan for parts.

All of our junkyard parts are filled with rust. Visiting Arizona is like heaven for car guys here.
