I've never had any trouble getting titles, bill of sale, or vehicles shipped upon purchase, etc from George. 3) Get a time frame on repairs from your mechanic: example: is his shop out 3 months on repairs? six months on repairs?Ĥ) Add the cost of the vehicle, parts, repairs and time to fix and compare this amount of money and time to the same model vehicle that a dealership or private owner has for sale and analyze if the repair of the salvage vehicle is worth it.sometimes it is: sometimes it's not. 2) Get an estimate on parts from George (or any other salvage yard) as this is added cost to what you are actually paying for the vehicle. A mechanic can identify hidden damage and cost that you as a buyer can not identify.

Take him with you to look at the vehicle you are interest in. Paying him $100.00 for his time might save you thousands of dollars in the long run. The C 230 SportCoup was powered by a 2.3-litre supercharged, four-cylinder motor. In 2003, Mercedes-Benz added the C 180 Kompressor, followed by the C 200 compressor in 2003-2007 (187 hp), and finally the C 160 Kompressor in 2005.

I would recommend the following if you're looking at buying a salvage/repairable vehicle: 1) Choose your Auto Body mechanic FIRST prior to going to purchase a vehicle that is salvage/repairable and pay him for his time even if you DON'T BUY. Initial engine options comprised the C 180 (139 PS), C220 (143 PS), C 200 Kompressor, and C 230 Kompressor. I've purchased a number of cars from George at East Coast Auto Source over the years.
