I found a 300 td with 206k miles. The tranmission shifts very smooth, engine runs great, ac works, cruise works, turns signals not working, suspension seems solid, tires nice, no rips or tears in leather, no rust, cracked dash is covered, sunroof and all windows work, turbo kicks in and runs great.

The car has a salvage title however. The owner said that his friend owned it for 3 years then it was hit on the drivers side fender. He fought with the insurance company but they still salvaged it. Then his friend sold it to him. I did a carfax on it and the dates vs title change/owner change goes exactly with his story.

The asking price is 1100 bucks. It's a gorgeous car it really is. I know with that title I could never sell it again and get much. Although I don't know if I would want to sell it if I got it. What would you do?

All it needs other than the turn signals fixed is brake pads. That's it. Other than that the car is pretty darn good. Paint is (probably new) great too. How much should I worry about the salvage title? I was going to buy it until I found that out, then I told the guy I couldnt' do it. Now I'm reconsidering it. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I can walk away from it if I thought it would be a bad idea and get something later. But it seems like such a nice car for the amount he's asking. He also is throwing in four rims and tires as well.

Thanks.
