Find a Donor for your 818 Thread

[jlahl3160]

To become a knowledgeable buyer I started this method to learn Prices… Here’s a start. See what I think is HOT here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...F9KZDlRbHJaT3c

Guidelines for list (link above):
• One vehicle donor. Vehicles listed will fit the Subaru Impreza ’02 to ’07 non-STI criterion to the best of my ability.
• Vehicle will look like it will function as a single donor, have unique features ,or lower mileage than most others like it.
• This list also contains what I have seen sell and prices paid (to unknown buyers)
• If I see it sell and have / receive data about selling cost, that data will be added to the spreadsheet… If I miss the auction entry will be removed.
• Until I hear otherwise, automatic transmissions will be included (knowing that most will want manual.)
• Listings are NOT a suggestion to buy. If you buy best wishes, but that is all, no guarantees are implied. “As is, and were is,” applies here.

To avoid continual updates and bumps from me I will add new “listings” to a Google spreadsheet. (A relief to many of you I am sure ).
For Prices paid by those on this forum see: http://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showt...or-prices-paid

Auctions I visit:
IAA https://www.iaai.com/
CoPart http://www.copart.com/c2/copart_home_page.html

Auctions go fast.. Run and drive vehicles go first on IAA at about 42 sec. average each.

For those posting here:
• Any question relating to obtaining a donor is okay.
• Suggesting a potential donor is okay.
• Suggesting other source(s) of donors is encouraged.
• Things to avoid, bad experiences, and lessons learned are encouraged.

There are other threads for other choices that are for two or more donors

Again apologies from me to those whose thread I have high-jacked in the past for this purpose.
