Some parts are reasonable, others are daylight robbery. Like CV Joints @ a couple of grand each, Radiators are over 2 grand and Ex Japan for some models and let's not forget the $1400 intercooler rubber bend!

The reason you sometimes get shafted at a wreckers yard is even if the guy gives you the part for free, he still has to pay some knuckledragging 'yardie' ~$40/hr to put down the bong long enough to unbolt it from the wrecked car..
