I just myself bought a 87 300TD and paid more then I wanted to for it, To me 1000.00 would have been a steal... I love the car and I've had it just about a week now... as for salvaged titles, as long as the rebuild was done correctly then there's no problem, all it means is an insurance co. made a payout on it as a "totaled" vehicle as they didn't want to have it repaired likely due to it's age depending on when it happened. I'd say that if it runs and drive's smoothly, there's minimal rust (within your scope of repairing) then I'd say it's a good car, the ad itself does not give a lot of information which is a little disconcerting, make sure you know how badly the car was damaged, also look at the frame etc... 1900 is not too bad of a deal to me...
