I'm starting to agree with this more and more.
1984 Mercedes 300D
Looking at this listing, it's really cheap and I can't test drive it, but surely there are things I can do to test the engine to make sure it isn't trash.

What would you do to feel comfortable buying an engine you can't drive but can inspect while running?
