hey, nice finds, I suggest you add your vehicle info in your signature, makes it easier for us to help you out

there's quite a few valuable parts on the cars you could take and just resell. modules, speakers, doormats, grille and any cosmetic stuff that others will need to replace on theirs after a small crash or whatever

maybe grab the reverse switch on top of the transmission (goes off with a 22mm socket), I've had to replace mine

Xs are dirt cheap cars, so junk yards have lots of them. My local one has 5. Lucky me because at least 3 of 5 ABS modules were bad. Right now I have #4 installed.

Reverse switch is for manuals. It looks like mine doesn't work, maybe I will use house light switch and install it on top of steering wheel with duct tape.
