I am done. Diesel didn't turn out to be cheap, and I am too busy to work on my own car. I have loved these cars since 1990, but I'm done.
1984 300SD with good engine. Trans failing (driven daily this way for past three years with no issues. It just slips sometimes), ignition switch faulty and removed from car. Tires good. I am not willing to spend the $300 in parts for an old car to get it on the road. I can get $500 off taxes by donating it.

What is the most prudent direction?
Is it worth parting out? Anyone want a car that was running until the key wore out for $500?
