Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

WOW is right. This is a salvage vehicle, not only with water damage to material and mechanicals, but fried electricals and electronics. I hope you know what you are doing.
Cars have different second hand values in different countries. Import tax on cars in some countries can be up to 500% making your Merc C class have a resale value of over $150K.
Zapirros: if you have a description of the possible damage I think there are enough people to give you advice on cost of replacement parts, etc.
The reason for our reaction is that in the US, salvage cars are like poison because of the way the title is made out and because of the unknowns. If you are buying it "blind" then it might need very minimal damage, or it could have been submerged entirely. It is very hard to visually judge the extent of the damage.
Your laws may not be as tough in your country so you might in fact make money on a re-sale. Unfornuately, this is not the way the people on RENNLIST operate. Good luck!
Depending on how flood kinda damage it is and if it is major-I think about the only thing salvageable is the shell and ne plastic parts. If it was really cheap(really cheap)-good project for a dedicated track car if you have funds : ). Regards. Mike
I beleive there is a Sh*t load of nice german cars at the bottom of the English channel. You can get one for free if you want to go bring one up
(rermember the car ferry that sunk
)
were any of these sinkings in international waters? i don't know salvage laws very well, but i thought it's kind of "first come first gets it" thing when a ship sinks in international waters as far as salvage goes...
