Right except a wrecker will charge $1100 for the transmission, $1300 for the engine, $200 for a seat, $100 for a radio, $75 for the guage cluster, $125 per wheel.....etc etc.

Keep in mind 90% of these vehicles are going to wreckers who will pay the money for and sell off the parts for years.

Even at $2000 selling it off for parts I could make my money back. Though personally I would not have bid that high on it, I would have stopped around $1500.

$1100 and $1300 for a 97k mile engine and trans is a bit high but NO doubt you would easily double your $2k investment just parting it out.

Looking at the silver 04 KJ for a moment, reminds me of a 02 silver KJ i got a good close look at 5 years ago. a big rig got out of control on rt-130 in Burlington, NJ and hit the KJ head on, both vehicles were doing 50 MPH at the time. That is what it looked like after the accident. The front end was smashed but the passenger compartment was intact. It was stored at the Burlington Twp Police station for a while. I was there picking up the recycling dumpsters so i was able to get close to it. BTW, that purple (?) TJ makes me wonder what the owner was smoking.

I agree thats high, but thats what most yards will charge. (it is not what I would charge, because I would want to get my money back, and it's also not what I would pay, because it's too high) Plus, the NV3550 is a pretty popular transmission, it's going to cost me at least $1000 for one from any wrecker. And maybe $500 if I get lucky and find one somewhere else. There are many junkyards that don't mind sitting on parts for 2-3 years before they sell. Eventually someone comes along and needs that motor, and they have it.
