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 
do***ented all over the place at www.hondasuv.com.
