I saw a wrecked car on ebay for a little over 14k.

And I am beginning to wonder if it is worth getting a salvaged vehicle at a good price for parts. Assuming the engine and transmission are in good condition I would assume that those parts alone are with 14k(Please correct me if I am wrong). Although the car on ebay would not be of use to me since I have an automatic, do we need to start collecting and storing parts? I know based on the build quality that the engine should be able to last atleast 250K if it is properly maintained. But you never know, flukish events do happen. I think I read somewhere that parts will be scarce especially since the car is no longer in production and that some members are actually already storing parts. Is this recommended, for those of us that plan on keeping the car for a long time?
