Most of the salvage yards you can actually go in like copher's stick to older cars they can get for next to nothing. An actual salvage operation that pulls and sells used motors, tranny's, etc. will buy newer wrecked cars from salvage auctions. Usually those places do not let you just go in and pull your own parts as there are too many valuable parts on the newer cars that someone could mess up. Greenleaf over in Tampa is the first place that comes to mind, any time I've needed anything for a newer car, they either had it right there or found it the same day.
