... how "tired" is the gas motor? does it blow blue smoke? any noises in the motor? are you planning to drive the gasser much before you switch? if the car runs well, but is just a bit on the weak side, the seller has no compunction to lower the price, simply due to you wanting to put in a diesel... pristine vehicles with weak but running well motors still have decent value. the gasser motor would have some value too. Oh, and I don't think you have to change the transmission.
