depends how it's wrecked, but a lot cheaper than buying new parts of course.

As long as none of the parts you need to swap are damaged, then you are good. Even if the trans, sensors, wiring, etc is in good shape and other stuff is messed up you are still getting a hell of a deal.

???? we cant see what if any type of damage may have happened to the motor from that shot. But IF nothing is wrong with the motor of course pulling the parts from a used donor car like that is going ot be cheaper and easier than buying them new. You will probably want to buy a new clutch and flywheel though with every thing out of the car

We can't really tell what's wrong with it from the pic

You could at least get some other parts that are needed if that's a 6MT

i cant see pics, but if the car is wrecked in the rear or sides its a good deal.

if its wrecked in the front i would look elsewhere.

Adam bought parts from a wrecked car only to find out that the block and tranny were cracked.

From the looks of the picture the passenger side strut tower may have shifted a little towards the pulley side of the motor. It would be prudent to go look for yourself. Take a good flashlight and check to see if the pullies have not come in contact with the 'side structure' (for the lack of a better word)that the motor mount attaches to. If not, you may have a hell of a deal!
