Yeah, I had to wonder how they still got 2 grand for it, not running. I mean, not like yer gonna pull the engine or tranny and put 'em in your car. I'ld like to find a wrecked one with < 100K miles with good engine & tranny.

If the interior is leather, maybe a little $$ but with 199K miles, it's bound to be
worn to sheet. I lexal mine regularly or it would be worn to sheet.
Cloth upholstery, worthless.
Engine and tranny, negligible worth without rebuild.
Brakes and rotors $300?
Well, I have brake calipers, rotors, and nearly new pads I'd be happy to part with for
that price. We're talking single piston floating calipers here....
~27K miles and only <5K on the pads.

I worked at a distmantler for a bit and trust me they will double those 2K easy (if it went to a distmantler that is) Every part gets sold.
Edit: Just an example...
Spindes - 75 each (x4)
Mirrors - 100 each
Rear Hatch Complete - 500
rear bumper assembly complete - 500
Pano (looks like it has one) - 400
Doors Easily - 400 each
fenders if good - 150 each
All the engine compartments (started, compressor, supercharger, etc etc etc..) adds up. once the car is just shell take it to the metal recycler and get another 500 out of it.

I thought that it was a good deal for $2000 because who ever bought it would easily make back their money if they parted it out and end up with a nice little profit. It is the little parts that bring in the dollars
Had it been a sedan they would had made a lot more as there are more on the road
