Default donor car questions

I have a friend that needs to move a 90' Integra fast. The car was in a rear-end accident. The Motor/tranny are okay and the motor has 94k. He is looking to unload the whole car for 350. My only problem is my parents dont want a junk car in the driveway. The motor would go into my crx. Someone tell me why I should buy this.

buy the car. strip the parts you want and sell off all the other parts for what you paid for the car.

put it in the backyard

Dang;

At $350 for the car, I'd find someplace where I could rent a garage for a couple days. If you can't strip down the car in two days, you are just lazy!!

If you spend $100 bucks to rent a garage for a couple days, then pay $50 bucks to have the remaining parts hauled off, you are still way ahead!!

The biggest worry that I'd have would be to be positive you have the ability to have the left over stuff hauled off.

That's an awesome deal. You could just strip what you need off of it and then try to sell the rest to a junkyard. Or ask your friend if you can strip the stuff out of it and leave the rest at his house until you can get rid of it.

try to convince your parents that you can make back your money for parting out the car after the engine swap. you get a better motor, and extra cash. what's so bad about that. tell them its only going to take a few days. for $350, that's a steal!
