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

December 6th, 2011 | by admin |

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

    Check Blue Book for a truly accurate answer, but I wouldn’t buy it PERIOD because it is a salvage title. You could probably move it for $2,000 if your in a hurry. Maybe $2,500-$3000 if you take your time.

    if it just has a salvage title, it will not be worth that much. probably around 1,000 to 2,000 dollars

    if the title is rebuilt and you are allowed to drive it, max i would pay is 2500, or 3,000

    dont listen to them. salvage title only effects the value of trade in. third party sales shouldnt matter, and the dmv doesnt care at all. and since its that old a title isnt even needed! older than 96 you dont need a title at all. value should be right on par with kbb
