It may not look like much, but pop the hood: this 2000 Subaru Outback has a "couple thousand dollars in parts and labor" freshly performed just days before "the incident".
Crushed by a tree, this wagon is priced right at $700 or best offer on Facebook Marketplace. There is added value: the owner explains "aggressive bees have now claimed this vehicle as home". As an established bee colony, $500 sounds just about right for this project, located in Bloomington Indiana.
Spotted by Puchii on our Discord server, we realistically see a good value here for nearby scrappers. Act fast, and good luck.
