Hi,

I'm clueless as to the cost of these cars....I see such a wide varience...but almost always above blue book....
I'm interested in a Lite Blue 300D 1983 mercedes....Very pretty on the outside (I don't think there are alot ot lite blue ones are there?)....145,000 miles, Transmission smooth, new tires, needs a new clutch on the air conditioner, but thats supposedly It!....Oil has supposedly been changed on a regular basis....I think i love this car, but don't want to make a mistake....How much do you all think is a fair price for this??

Also...I Was thinking of getting an 85, because I heard it was the best year for the turbo diesels...but I live in CA...and then started hearing they were great, but parts harder to get, ya da, Ya da...SO....Is the 83 as superior as an 85?...(the 85 I am interested in has 215,000, as opposed to this pretty 83 blue one, with 145,000.

Please Help..
THANK YOU!,....I wish I could find a man with the brains of you folks
Linda
