Tank, yep, you are correct, that did sound contradictory. Normall a clean '87 will run $5-7k. I sort of know the owner from the diesel email list, and I'm pretty sure it's well maintained. The photos looked pretty sharp. I was surprised at the low asking price but I wasn't going to argue. Might be a depressed used car market in his area right now? I'm saying that if it's what it appears to be and checks out, it's a good deal. But MANY cars that are priced below "normal" can get expensive fast. This one is, I believe a 2-owner, dealer serviced car with records from owner #1 through 100kmi and I presume some type of records from the current/2nd owner. I'd be checking it out myself it were closer...2500 miles is a long way to go when you don't really need another car. (Well, I need an E500, but that's a different story... I also need a winning lottery ticket so I can get one!)

Sorry if I confused y'all.
