All parts you can carry, junk yard sale. What to grab?

You have to ask yourself if it's worth saving a few bucks on any particular item. Exactly how much cheaper is the part? How much work is it if the junkyard part fails and you have to replace it again? Would a failure just be an inconvenience? Or would it leave you stranded, possibly in the middle of an intersection?
One part worth a gamble is the throttle body. New ones are very spendy. Very easy to swap out, and most failures typically cause restricted mode, so you can at least get home. If your current one ever fails, you could install the junkyard spare and send the original out to be rebuilt.
The rear electronic module sounds like a good bet. Most computer modules are very robust, but here on the forum I've read about a few of these going south.
I'd go for crash parts, such as tail lights, head light covers, grill, hood ornament etc. Expect to pay a lot for those down the road if ever needed. Those could save you a lot of money and aggravation if ever in a minor fender bender.

Thanks KR. I got lots of parts for other cars.
For my Jag I only got fuel pump from 01 S-type, I am not sure if it will fit. I mean only motor. If it doesn't work, I'll get some pump from Ford or GM, I'll find late models. There was 09 Kia 3.0, maybe I'll get pump from it. All pumps have about 90 PSI pressure max. I also need a pump with close resistance. Rear ECM adjusts fuel pressure by changing voltage from 8 to 12. We'll see. I'll let you know.
There was only one 03 and fuel pump was gone.
BTW, fuel pump on 03 S-type is very easy to replace, it takes 1 sec to remove fuel hose from pump.
