I have been driving my 2005 Envoy SLE for several years and have put over $8k into replacing just shy of absolutely everything. I wrecked it a couple weeks ago and I have full coverage on it, so the insurance is offering me $1600 or $1200 and I can buy it back. It is not drivable, would need about $2000 worth of work just to make it drivable and thats not taking into account the two replacement doors it needs. The engine however and transmission and all other mechanical components were unharmed. Damage was to passenger side doors and slight frame bend, but did snap some suspension. I think I could get more than $400 if I took out simple things like the stero and remote start and sold those and scrapped it myself at our local scrap yard- so I am doing the buy back option no matter what. BUT I have the opportunity to buy a 2003 Envoy from a relative for pretty cheap. And they are flexible with payments if I decide I want it. The catch is its a V8 model. So my question is- is there any parts from the 2005 L6 and the 2003 V8 that would be at all compatible to make it worth keeping the wrecked 05 around? Because if not- I could pass on the 03 envoy, part and scrap the 05, and then get into something different entirely. I am new to this forum so apologies if this post is in the wrong place. I have came here many times to read threads as issues came up with my 05 and appreciate this community very much! Thanks in Advance for any insights.
