Title only becomes an issue when you want to sell it .

Even in California where I now live, one can register a vehicle sans title, I did it on my 1969 Jeepester when it came from Up State New York to here .

Any car from anywhere in New York or surrounding area is going to have rust issues, I remember three year old cars rotted beyond drivability, never mind the annual safety inspection, many sorta skipped it or cheated .

It may well be a good deal and well worth fixing up, God knows I used to save old junkers when this was a new car, some were amazingly good shape in spite of only costing $50 or so .

That is way worth the price. If I didn't have one already, I would be on my way to pick it up already.

I have never seen rod and main bearings that are oil starved cause no damage to the crank journals... Yup put bearings in it and drive another 200k... Life is so simple!!!:o

I agree. The guy is dreaming if he thinks new bearing shells will fix the knocking. I think it is time for a new engine. Even so, that is still a great price.

Would you buy for $800, I was too scared to decided not to get it.

Needs brand new fluids, fuel, tires, windshield, body seals, injector/exterior are rough, turn signal light plus more.

A money pit? Or saving grace?

Might have bio-crap wiring that is causing the no start.

The wiring was in excellent shape, pliable and soft. The owner even said he got a replacement harness.

Being the gasoline is 5 years old it had to be the reason for the no start, starting fluid allowed it to putter to life, so it's a fuel issue?

The SD I sold last year - https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/d/1983-mercedes-benz-300sd/6625305898.html

Well maintained by forum member PO. Excellent highway cruiser. R-12 AC works but has expansion valve leak. Antenna sometimes drains battery if you don’t drive it for a few days so I left it disconnected.

I just got the registration renewal notice so it’s probably being sold with my title.

What a *****bird ~ driving it for a year then dumping it to avoid transfer & title .

I wonder if he ever changed the oil ? .
