I think if the price is as good as you say I'd jump on that deal. Tow it home, make a trip to the boneyard and get the right diff and put the right one time the first time and be done with it.

Exactly my thoughts man, you hit it on the head. Problem is im short on money being 18 years old and all that fun stuff, I saved up 1,500 for a turbodiesel Mercedes to commute to college in. (The 240D absolutely
hates it being that it's all hills) I love the body style and the fact that the AC works. The interior is very nice with some charactor here and there, everything electrical works. The guy wants $900 for it, and I need to set aside $300 for the rest of my summer course. My computer shop makes OK money, hopefully parting out Betsy will help out financially. Im too tired to keep ranting
I was hoping the 240D's rear would bolt up and work for a couple weeks until I have some time on the weekends to go hunt down one with the right ratio. Wouldn't the 240D's have a ratio better for acceleration and not top-end? I don't need to be going fast I just need to climb 45 miles of hills twice a day
