This is mostly regarding 3rd and 4th gens.

So I'm occasionally at the junk yard helping friends pull parts for their vehicles, and I see 3rd and 4th gen Max's sometimes (I have a 4th, friend has a 3rd), so I've been wondering what parts I should spare a few mins removing either for my own Max (4th gen) or my buddy's 3rd gen that might be useful in the future? Specifically parts that tend to be expensive to buy new or hard to find. Or really even parts that are hard to find that people on the board might need.
Any ideas? My first thought was OEM rear spoiler, which I see is $500 new from the dealer..ugh

Thx

 

Window motors maybe? Various sensors stuff like that...

 

Yeah I wasn't sure if there were certain sensors where it's not recommended to go with used.. that said there's always situations where due to finances used is better than nothing.

 

Stay away from MAF used I think. Also, knock sensor. That's probably about it. It's a rather difficult job to r&r a knock sensor just to find out the used one doesn't work.

 

Hmm..the parts that come to mind.. (provided they're working)
- ignition coils
- window switches
- window motors
- antenna
- starter
- the whole vent unit with the clock, defroster switch, etc
- gauge cluster

stuff you can pull easily and ship in a small box.

 

yea guage cluster. i regret not taking the one i pulled off a 96 GLE with 76k on it. they wanted to charge me 17 dollars....realizing now i coulda sold it for 50 +

 

Thanks those give me some good ideas

 

Keyless pads? Did have a couple window motors go to pieces in the wife's car.
