So I bought a black-on-black 2017YukonXl SLT at auction for $15K. Dropped it at a shop and it turned out well.
But, the wrecking yard jackholes that held the vehicle for the owner/insurance company, until it went to auction, stole the seats out if it. And, they replaced with beat up seats minus the heat/cool, and modules that control heat/cool, side view mirrors adjust, adjustable pedals, and memory.
Ive looked through eBay. Holy cow!!! Now I know why they stole the seats out it.
So....suggestions?
What models and years can I look at?
I’m in the San Diego area.
Anybody have a go-to wrecking yard that they trust?

Any helpful advice....many thanks.

I would check the yards in TJ since that's where they do the vin swaps probably a few down there.

Thanks Dou.
That sounds like an alternative worth visiting. Likely the cheaper alternative too. The question that I’ve been batting around in my head though now is “what happens to a guy driving north at the border with a bunch of high-end seats in the back of his truck?” I’m hoping I just get blessed with a nice US Customs and Border Patrol wave or the same after a verification from a legible receipt.

Also...I am headed north for Thanksgiving. Will be everywhere from Stockton to Vacaville to San Jose. Anybody up there I might check in with???
