I wonder what a wrecking yard would charge for a throttle body ? Maybe
$200 - $250 ?

Takes about 8 minutes to remove it yourself, especially off a wreck....
Of course you'd want to replace the gaskets with OEM, but it wouldn't
even need to be calibrated, just do the 'idle learn' procedure, which is
documented all over the place at www.hondasuv.com.
