Thankfully I've found this particular car to be in good shape. Not much corrosion. In fact I can't see any obvious reasons why it's at the yard. No signs of catastrophic failure. It had seen recent repairs and maintenance before going to the salvage yard - new front window regulators, newish brake pads all the way around, relatively fresh injector return lines, oil cooler lines looked fairly new and so did the transmission cooler lines (they were the updated ones with metal wire protection) etc. Oh well, so be it, it's working out well for me.
