I called them twice. Said they don't sell complete cars. But that was the receptionist (nationwide?)toll free#. Maybe they'd do it as you describe if you go there in person.


Interior is nice also:

Post Buying Junkyard Vehicles

So far, LKQ has made it company policy to never sell complete cars once they're in the 'parts' inventory .

Junkyards can sell as many vehicles as they want but so often there are after sale issues, as mentioned most of the goofs who buy junked vehicles then expect some sort of endless service....

This W116 is a shame, I don't like W116's but they're getting very thin on the ground and this appears to be a nice one, worthy of being saved .

I've bought dozens of vehicles from junkyards and never caused any fuss but few are like this .

You should post which LKQ it's at so others can go strip it silly.....
