***I feel like i want all of these, all Manual Transmissions, so i had to post them up. ***
I missed out on a 2006 Mazda 6 with low miles. Was going to use it as an engine and head unit donor for my 2004 manual wagon but just don't have the energy right now with everything I have going on. A big part of me regrets it. I'm sure it went cheap, if that 2004 is any indication!!

"Parts missing" usually means battery since they do nothing more with the cars other than try to start them. Sure enough, if you zoom in on the pic of the engine, the battery is missing. However, it also says engine damage.
$275 is $483 with fees
$550 Vibe is $853 with fees . Seems high priced for 265k miles and unknown condition
$1100 Mini Cooper is $1500....seems high for 170+k miles and unknown condition.
I certainly don't see that as a $6k Mustang and fees would be HUGE for a private buyer. $6,000 becomes $7,048
Of course, the buy-it-now prices are usually pretty optimistic. I'll bet these cars don't sell via buy-it-now and that they do not meet their reserve prices when the auctions go live either. They wil then be back up the following week at maybe reduced reserve prices but the seller is first trying for "the big money".
In reply to John Welsh :
I always forget about those extra fees.
