My question was not based on the cost of the parts of production 
vehicles, but on the cost of the *cheapest* set of parts to make 
a vehicle out of.  Nor, would the parts all have to be *new*. 
 
There are many components which outlast the vehicles they were 
originally installed in, and of those which don't, rebuilds are 
much more reasonably priced with equal reliability... as for 
example, alternators, which can be rebuilt with a new set of 
brushes that cost less than a buck.
