To all,

I posted a question about the value of an '83 300 CD a couple of days ago- seller offering 3650.

Now after running a Carfax, it comes back with a salvage title.

What are your thoughts about such a car given the following facts:

126,000 mi
engine and tranny strong
front end tight
original paint, no evdience of repaint
no rust
a/c works
vacuum system works
only 2,031 built in '83
windows / sunroof ok
reason for salvage title unknown

I need a daily driver (130 miles/day) that will give me the dependability and economy that a turbodiesel will give, and having a '79 300d non turbo already, I relly appreciate these cars- I just need more power.

Would you buy it ?
What would you counteroffer with?
Anyone have a car for sale in the Silicon Valley area?


TIA for your thoughts,
Nate Stanley
