It really is amazing how much money people want for their garbage! When I was looking to buy in september, I called about an 83 300SD. The guy said it was sold but he had a 300D that was "perfect, ready to go." I asked how much and he said $2900. So I drove all the way to Hermosa Beach to look at it. First of all, it was a 79. I guess I never clarified that but all in all it was a total sled. The engine rattled like it was going to jump right out of the hood, nothing inside worked, and it had no, and I mean NO pickup at all. What a dick! I told him I was looking for and 82 and split. For $2900 he could've at least washed it! He told me to make an offer but I didn't bother because it would've been $200.
