Default Where to find totalled car?

hey peeps
I was wondering where I could find a totalled tC? I want a number of interior parts to see if I can customize them or make a decent track car. I've looked on ebay and theres a few but none really close enough to look at. Anyone know how much they go for??

open up the yellow pages and look for junk yards, call around and see what they got.

I work for Progressive Ins.
We use Salvage Direct when we have totals.
Typically late model salvage cars go to auction and are bought by big salvage yards. They are typically stripped and cataloged in warehouses.

Check this out:
http://www.salvagedirect.com/asp/cat...cion&facility=

You can contact them and find out what you can do to get into one of their auctions.

Yes they are, if you're comparing it to a 3.5L v6.
