I've purchased a crashed '98 base from Copart for $2650 with 54,000 miles (one owner) as well as a 2001 S for $2,000.
Thank you for the tip. I looked over there too. I don't know if I want to deal with shipping a whole car etc. I don't have time as it is currently.

No idea of the cause as of yet. Shop tried to start it and it locked up at the shop.
I can't say for sure the IMS has been replaced or not.
The car was bought from the original owners estate. I'm the second owner.
