Nobody. It'll get tossed in the back of a scrap wagon headed to the crusher. The extra weight amounts to a few extra dollars in my mechanic friend's pocket...

A new or rebuilt head would cost thousands. My friend bought a totalled '94 960 wagon (rear-ended) for $800. The engine starts and runs great and has about 83k miles on it. The differential and tranny are fine.

He'll get maybe $1500 for the used motor, probably $300-500 for the (perfect) nose, maybe another $500 for misc interior parts, perhaps $150 for the differential (if he needs it), maybe a few hundred more for front end stuff, like rack, etc. And the four doors are perfect.

The car's a goldmine. It sits with his other 40-50 240s, 740s, 940, 850s, and one 444.

Ka-ching!
