Well i had been needing to go to a junkyard for a few parts and a co-worker told me about a new one that was local so me and a buddy decided to hit it up. after the guys followed us around for a bit not letting us look around at all i spotted a 3g (my buddy was actully looking for 3g parts for his se-i). i got up to it and omg frigen thing was mint, paint was mint, no dents, intior was clean and well kept except for some normal wear in the driver seat, even the tires were inflated to the correct level. only thing the car needs was a wash. i asked the owner what the deal was on the car and he said it was a blown headgasket. well after looking the car over in shock that it was even at the junkyard i decided to see if the guy would sell it and i could get a salvage tittle.... ima post pics of the car before i continue

sorry for the cell pics but as you can probably tell with a good wash this car looks mintyer then 80% of the cars on here that people dump money into (includeing both of mine that i owned).
so i find the owner and started talking to him about it (mind you all of the junkyard workers keept checking on me and my buddy as if we were going to steal something) i asked him if he would sell the accord. he plainly said no. i tried a little harder by telling him how its really too clean to be in the yard for only a blown headgasket and would be more then willing to tow it out of there and everything, plus the fact that nothing had been pulled from the car yet helped my argument. he simply said he will not sell me the car... after getting pissed that this guy would not change his mind i asked him about a price for the hood and headlight bucket (for my buddies se-i) he told me 100 for hood 45 for bucket.. this is MUCH higher then the other local yards and i decided to pay for my dual filiment tail light sockets (charged 5 bucks for a socket) and leave.. really wish i woulda been able to save this one, just thought i would share my day lol
