A4 Sport code

[Beatty, Robert]

there are places that specialize in buying wrecks to sell to people to
rebuild them and they will include all the parts needed.  Example of this
was the 94 100 my dad bought with an engine fire.  He got an entire motor
from another car and other parts as part of the price which i think was
about 6-7000 and this was 1 1/2 years ago at least.  He ended up only taking
the intake manifold and a few small parts off the motor and we sold that
separately.  its not that the insurance companies dont let them out to
people, all the cars that are wrecked go to an auction and junkyards bid on
them.  obviously new cars are worth money in both parts and rebuilding so
its competive out there.
