Default folding mirrors

How can I make sure Im buying a folding wing mirror and not a non folding type. I need a mirror for a WRX classic and have been to a scrap yard where he has quite a few mirrors. But He is not sure which is folding and which is not..

well,u cant mistake it really,but if u dont have a battery to test the wiring,remove the glass and check the bits out behind the glass, u`ll see the motor housing at the top of the unit,remove the screws and remove all the covers,not hard,just phillips screws and u`ll see the motor

if its electric folding it will weigh more and you wont be able to fold it in by hand. also has more wires coming out of it.
