True, as a rebuilder, it doesn't make good economic sense. If it was local and I needed parts for one of my cars, it could make good sense. I look at it and see a nice interior, tiptronic transmission, straight body parts, nice wheels, good condition top, lights, bumpers...
With all the fees and transport costs I've paid for salvage auction cars, a local roller on Craigslist is usually a better deal. Maybe they are more common and cheaper in SoCal.
