How much would you offer me for my car? (just doing a little bit of Research)?

Hi, I have a 1981 Mercedes Benz 280e with 70,000 original miles on it. Its is squeaky clean on the inside and on the outside it has accident damage on the passenger side from my aunt hitting someone opening their car door as she was driving by. It has a salvage title. But it isn’t the American version, it is the European version, It is a Daimler Benz NOT a Mercedes Benz. I want to buy a car that is a little bit more fuel friendly, and this car deserves a person who can completely take car of it. So what would you offer me for it (just doing a little bit of Research) or how much should i price it for?
Also this car is mechanically great! no leaks, not one problem!
Sorry I should have clarified. The salvage title is due to the incident with my aunt. In california, any car that is 15+ years old are given salvage titles very easily. The engine and frame remain un touched.

In my state, a salvage title is worthless for registering a car. So here it would just be good for parts, about $600

Is Dodge Charger considered an American car when it was developed by Daimler in Germany and built in Canada?

Nothing’s American anymore. They just tag the name American onto the car because Dodge once was an American made vehicle.

what is the phone number for Daimler Chrysler services in roanoke texas?

I’m trying to buy a car and DC Services held a lien on the title. The loan has been paid off but the lien needs to be released.

Daimler no longer owns Chrysler. Since you didn’t give us much detail in your question I’ll assume you are looking for someone to service your vehicle. Do you want the Mercedes dealer or the Chrysler dealer?

Do a Google search for the new car dealer in your zip code.

If you want the Financial Services branch add the word Finance to your Google search.

Is Daimler Chrysler investigating why it had to recall 800,000. Jeep Liberty vehicles for ball joint defects?

Yes.

The automotive manufactures have a complete system in place to examine, identify and repair defects in their vehicles.

A recall is costly both in labor, parts costs and inconvenience to the customers. The costs of a recall comes from Chrysler’s bottom line.

Ball joint defects is a serious Safety issue. It is not clear as yet, if the problem is a part defect or a design issue.

Also, the Ball joint defect may have contributed to premature tire wear and other problems.

P&S –Do you know or not - How did the name Mercedes come to be chosen for the car?

Mercedes Benz is a world famous brand of luxury cars. It was Emil Jellinek, the Austro-Hungarian consul and one of the earliest buyers of the model, who persuaded Gottlieb Daimler, the manufacturer, to rename the model after his daughter, Mercedes Jellinek, figuring that this non-German sounding name would be more popular with the French buying public.

Karl Benz built an automobile in 1886, during a time when the "invention" of the automobile was widely pursued on both sides of the ocean. The Benz car of 1886 was subsequent to the de Dion car in France in 1884, submission of the Selden patent in the US in 1879, and the Siegfried Marcus car, developed in Austria in 1870. It’s convenient for modern advertising purposes to call Benz the inventor of the automobile, although it’s not really the case.

However, Benz was certainly an early pioneer. He produced prototype vehicles for the next ten years, and by the mid 1890’s was producing cars on a more or less commercial basis.

Gottlieb Daimler was a German engineer who also produced his first car in 1886. He and engineer Wilhelm Maybach formed a rival company to Benz, called DMG. One of the early distributors of DMG cars was Emil Jellinek, a well to do Austrian diplomat living in France. Jellinek was an avid enthusiast, and began peppering Daimler with requests for modifications. Some of these were followed by the factory, because Jellinek was so effective at selling cars.

By 1900, Jellinek was operating a successful dealership in Nice, and was in a position to demand something really special from Daimler. He requested a car with a long wheelbase, more horsepower, lower center of gravity, and electric ignition. He offered a large sum of money to Daimler not only to produce the car, but to give him an exclusive dealership covering most of western Europe and the US. He reserved the right to name the car, and called it Mercedes, after his daughter.The new Mercedes car was an instant success, winning race after race. Success on the track led to success on the showroom floor, and the brand flourished.

During the post-WWI depression, the Benz and DMG companies were forced to merge. This occured in 1926. The resulting company was called Daimler Benz. Their automobiles, capitalizing on the strength of both brands, became known as Mercedes Benz’s, which is how we know them today.
