parts car
A parts car is a vehicle you buy mainly to take apart and use its parts, like engines or brakes. It’s usually cheaper because the whole car isn’t in good shape.
A "parts car" is a vehicle purchased primarily for its usable components rather than as a whole, often because it has mechanical issues or is no longer street‑legal.
