Default Donor/Parts Car

Should I buy a donor car for future use? $900. Engine is perfect. I don't know much about cars, but my mechanic said that if something goes wrong with my engine/super-charger, we would have the donor car available for parts.

Hello mburge03 --- I did. I own three Jaguars. Bought a doner car for $1000. I have been slowly migrating good parts from the doner to the other cars. AND, most of the doner is Aluminum, so it is worth its weight in scrap Aluminum when I'm done.

We can't tell you what to do, but your logic is sound if you have a storage for it and you can always sell some parts on ebay or the like.
