I have bought 2 RECON title Mercedes in the past, One 190e, and One 500sl, both were repaired properly, ran and drove like new. I traded one for a classic porsche with clean title Straight, and the other for a mint Jag XJ6. My opinion by experience says it depends on the damage, and the repair. Done right, they are great drivers. To the collector, that is an obvious downfall. Most folks DRIVE these cars anyway. My Insurance carrier never had any problem insuring them at all.
I would definitely buy more like these if the price is right! Keep in mind, it's all in where your headed with the cars. Many are worth more apart than together, capeche? (Turning or flipping for profit)
Good Luck on this, be a skeptic when looking at every one that has branded title.

NO problem. You send the title, I'll put it in my shirt pocket, then wear the shirt and put it in the laundry. My Mrs will then run the laundry with the title in the shirt pocket and put it in my closet. I then remove the title and send it back to you.

Clean title!

In California once a junkyard acquires ANY vehicle if they sell it it becomes salvage.

Case in point: I have a friend who sells tools outside junkyards in So Cal.

He knows a lot of junkyard owners and employees.


One of the junkyard owners inherited a 1991 190E 2.6 last year, Pearl black/palomimno with just 50k on the clock. His grandmother had owned it from new, hence the low miles, he got it when she died. He did not need it though.


Mint beautiful car, so my friend bought it.

But because of the junkyard taint, it got a salvage title. I rode in it many times, it's beautiful, even the dash gauges are bright orange, meaning it was always garaged. Just a couple of weeks ago we went bar hopping in LA in it, little beast runsa and looks great, it has 60k on it and it's perfect for running around LA
