Keep looking and be patient.
That is alot for a salvage title.
The car may be o.k. but on the technicality of
the title, it should be marked down.
Your insurance may not pay top dollar on a loss due to the
title!!!
Use yahoo and excite classifieds as well as autotrader.com
I've seen 125K '85 300CD for $5K ballpark
around the s.f. bayarea.
Talk them down or keep searchin.
good luck.
