Do what my wife did to get a great deal on a car. Find someone who is thinking of upgrading their car but simply doing a dealer trade in credit, find out the credit and offer that to them and maybe some dinner or whatever. In that case the car is more likely to be in stellar condition.



A bad title is by very definition bad.

I don't know then. Seems strange to salvage title on a car that hasn't been damaged, just because someone took a joy ride in it.

If it was salvaged, I have no idea on what that would do to the value.

I have to 2006 C4 Cabriolet full leather package option including dash etc., I purchased as CPO from Park Place in Dallas in 2009, so it went through the Texas summers and now the Maryland summers and I have to say it still looks new.

I also have full leather interior and always make sure to install a shade behind the windshield when the car remains parked all day long in sunny North Carolina. Also, a little bit of leather conditioner helps a long way. It is looking better than most plastic dashboards.

look into air blue (clear ceramic) tint on the windshield. it blocks so much heat I wouldn't even bother with a sunshade, and the AC gets the car completely cool in minute. very comfy. I had it done to a few cars in Hawaii, and everyone who knows its there just loves it.
