Car was crashed but engine was still intact so he fixed it up. It was all cosmetic. The car looks brand new and everything is working and smooth. However, I am hesitant because of the miles. I don't want a car that will constantly break down on me and will cost me triple what I bought for it. So, go for it or skip?
Honestly, I'd pass if I were you. The probability is high that you're going to have some problems associated with the title issues. This is a Mercedes so any repairs are going to have a Mercedes price. You're going to be hard pressed to spend under $1K just to replace the tires.
I'd focus on finishing your education, get your first job and then search for a low mileage garage queen. I have no doubt you'll find one. There are plenty of owners out there like myself that only drive their Crossfires on weekends and special occasions.
Just my $0.02. Good luck!
