The engine runs great and has been so reliable to me but the car body is so badly rusted out it's time to replace the car rather than sticking money into it to remove glow plugs.
I'm looking for something with a turbo this time around and pre CDI whatever year that would be. Too much computerized stuff is not for me, I am old school!

Does not sound like he was the right guy for the job. Hey, you do what you gotta do. It's your car and only you know best. Good luck!
