Default SC300 in junkyard, what should I take?

The C pillars are cut out, front end is gone, interior is pretty thrashed. I'm taking the steering rack and A/C control assy for my SC4. This is the only SC I've seen in the 'yards around here. Is there anything else of value I should take from this heap?

The only issue is that you can usually buy stuff on the forums cheaper than you will get it from the junkyard. The only exception is those parts that are extremely big...

Does that mean junkyards generally charge a lot of money for that kind of stuff? I've never been to one before.

Yes, because they go off the cost of the part new and charge a percentage of that. I rarely buy from salvage yards, most things are cheaper on here...

I've been relatively pleased with the prices at this LKQ yard. But apparently they're revising their prices at the moment so who knows.
