Re: [MBZ] Recommended Tulsa area independents?
In some states, a salvage title is attached after a vehicle is the subject of a mechanic's lien. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Weeks Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 7:23 AM To: Mercedes mailing list Subject: Re: [MBZ] Recommended Tulsa area independents?

Salvage title in my state (IA) means the car was totalled, then repaired. Depending on what caused it to be totalled, could mean problems with structural integrity that you might not discover until your next bad accident, or a tendency to rust prematurely.

[MBZ] Recommended Tulsa area independents?
Hi gang, Found a 300E that might not be a total POS and reasonably priced. But, said car has a few problems. And, it has a salvage title. Known problems (so far) are that the cruise control, while for a time intermittant, now seems to finally bit the bullet and died. Also, the aircon doesn't work. The heater, on the other hand, does work, but current owner says the fan never seems to go completely off. Are the problems with the cc and the a/c-fan issue something that can be pretty easily (read cheaply) fixed? And, if it passes a PPI (am thinking about Benzin, but will consider other recommendations) should a salvage title concern me if I plan to keep the car? (Current owner has no idea why it has a salvage title, he bought it from his brother.) I should get the VIN and run a Carfax, maybe?
