Found a S5 at junkyard. What to get?

The 7 is striped of the engine and hood. Most of the interior is gone too. But there's some other parts on it. Is there anything from under the car I should try to pull off of it? It still has the S5 tails, one is a bit scratched but I think it could be buffed out ($50 for them though from the yard).

You could probably sell the S5 tails to someone for like $700. Pretty much just grab whatever you can get your hands on. See if it has the ECU, engine harness if it's not all hacked up, take whatever's left of the interior and any exterior parts.

check to see if it has LSD... mirrors? any side moldings? Those seem to be in demand. Otherwise dont be greedy and let the next rx7 guy who is in need of some of those parts get it.

Idk if they'll sell the whole car. The interior parts like door panels are a bit beat up. It has no mirrors. The bumpers are missing and there might be some side moldings. I took little **** though, like the interior mirror, interior clips, gas cap (remember when I lost mine?) and I took stuff like the air damns and windshield washer fluid box. It still has the transmission and the gauge says 86k miles.

The car is white with blue interior. I could take the door handles and I saw the door seals were still good. I'm going back to grab most of the stuff left tomorrow. This yard doesn't leave cars sit long after the engine is gone. So if I don't take stuff, it will get smashed.

Remember that one is a bit scratched, but it should buff out.

I'd get the guages and stuff out of there too, as well as the bezel and wiper / headlight switch as well as the cpu ( flasher unit ) out of the driver side kick panel.

Hell, you might just see if the ecu is in there too.

There was no box cover (driver storage bin?). I got the tail lights and a few other things. Whoever moved the car in the yard broke the gauges. They broke the drivers side window.

I got mostly interior parts, door seals, tail lights and emblems. I tried to get the heat controls but it seemed like I needed the dash out to unplug it. So I said screw it. .

I took the transmission (for $50). They wouldn't let me buy the car. They said they didn't have a dealer license and can't sell cars without one. For some reason the were getting ready to smash the car when I got there so I asked if I could grab some other parts before they did.

The tail lights are for sale and I will let them go for $100 obo. If you're broke as hell and can't afford $100, just shoot me and offer.
