You're talking about none other than U-Pick-Parts/U-Pull-Parts in beautiful Sun Valley (a real estate agent's term for Hell), CA, off Telfair out by I-5. Took a girlfriend out with me once to get parts for her Toyota. She was astounded such a place even exists. totally fascinated.
Anyway, Saabs are there for the stripping. The bodies are in such great shape, the northern SAABistas would go nuts. Can't buy the cars because they don't exist legally anymore.
The reason you can find such nice SAABs with low mileages are the trannies. I would bet the house that each and every 900 is in there because of PTD (Premature Tranny Death).
You can rent engine hoists at the yard for big jobs. No power tools are allowed. I saw a guy patiently cold-chisel an entire rear clip off a Nissan Sentra. Must've taken three hours.
That yard and it's sworn rival Pick-A-Part save me a ton of loot. A door with everything in it will cost $29.95 (Electric windows extra. So what.)
