[QUOTE="holyguacamole, post: 1042594, member: 74443"] Looks like we're having to move on from my son's 2005 Sport Trac w/ 128,415 miles on it. It stranded him the other day and we had it towed in. It had been having other issues engine-wise and this was the last straw. Water pump gave out, belt flew off, coolant leaked out and engine seized. Mechanic called today and a used engine will cost $4500 (160k miles) - $5000 (138k miles) so we're going to invest in a different vehicle instead. What is the best option for getting rid of an otherwise okay vehicle? Salvage yard? Scrap metal? I don't have time or space to part it out. Any recommendations are appreciated. [updated to include accurate mileage] [/QUOTE]
