Seeking fellow 850 owners advice... 850 1995

Hello All,

Unfortunately the end of the road has come for my beloved "Ingirid", a '95 Turbo sedan. Due to the engine overheating I have blown a gasket and done much damage to the cylinder heads. Putting in a new engine is the most cost effective measure right now, but in the mean time I have purchased another vehicle and am now stuck with a beautiful shell of a car with no working engine. I do not want to pump more money into the car just to turn around and sell it. Making a few phone calls I have found out that parts/salvage operations are only willing to give me at most $150 for the car, with the Blue Book value being aroun $5000 if the car had a working engine. Do any of you know of a place that will purchase my car, just being a shell with no working engine, but still give me a fair price, rather than a few hundred dollars?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Michael Heinisch
