Car listed above was recently "totaled" in an accident but the frame and engine are still good. Someone nearby is selling a cheap 2003 for parts. How much if anything would be compatible? Mostly looking for body parts (bumper cover, hood, door) but could use more (headlights, rear lift-gate actuator, etc) if they will work.
Thanks!

If the body styles are the same you should be fine. Look at the parts to compare.

A couple sites that are handy to check parts compatibility. Car-part. Com and rockauto. Com. Car part lists salvage yards and interchange parts. With Rock Auto you can select your vehicle, then the parts you are looking for. Then click the blue part numbers and it will show you which models the part was used on.
