Pick n Pulls around the bay would be rare for STi's and probably the same with WRX's.

You can check PnP inventory on their site.

nope. PnPs are the very bottom of the salvage food chain, they typically dont pay more than $500 for any of the cars on the lot so that means just about any car thats less than 10 years old is is not going to be there, even if its completely totaled.

^What Krinkov said. I was at the Windsor PnP on Saturday and the newest Impreza I could find was a '94 The newest Subaru I could find was a '98 and that was a Legacy Brighton wagon.

Yup. The Rancho Cordova Subaru places grabs most of the wrecked late model Subarus in the Bay Area. They've got TONS of stuff, but it's not a true Pick n Pull as they pull the items off the cars.

They are a little expensive... I wanted to get some black mirrors for my sti and they wanted about $80 a piece. They do have a lot of selection, and just like eastbaysubaru said they aren't a true pick n pull. You tell them what part you are looking for and if they have it they will get it for you.

From what I've heard, they're not out of business but were bought out by one of the larger salvaging/recycling companies out there. The new company is called Specialized Parts Planet.

I called them a couple of weeks ago and they are definitely still in business. Whether they were bought out or whatnot I'm not sure of, but they're still there buying up all the late model Subarus they can find.

Yup, definitely a bit more expensive. I wanted just a small part for my suspension and they wouldn't sell it to me, they wanted me to buy the whole assembly. It ended up being cheaper to get a brand new part from Steven's Creek Subaru rather than going through them.
