We recently posted an Isuzu Impulse RS Turbo, pointing out how rare these cars are. In fact, any second generation (JT22) Impulse is a rare bird, which means parts are not easy to find. Perhaps you bought, or are thinking about buying, the RS we posted before and you want a parts car. Well, we have a deal for you!
This Impulse XS is offered for sale by a donation company, so some poor soul decided to give it away. It’s been hit in the side, but many parts appear to be intact. The question is…how many are shared with the RS?
Lotus-tuned handling at a low price, or just a parts car?

Yes, the Handling by Lotus badges are common between models.
Would the RS fog lamps fit in this fascia? Hmm.
The cloth is different from the RS, but we can’t tell if the seat shape is, also. It looks like most parts would work, however, and that this one has the better interior in terms of condition.
Obviously, not much in the powertrain/drivetrain could do from the FWD, NA XS model to the AWD, turbo RS, but maybe some small parts would work? Of course, one could always try to sell off the major bits.
