Well, about 2-3 weeks ago I posted some diesels that were for sale.
A 240D, 4 speed, 178K miles for about $1500-1700.
I have since deleted that post because I figured they were sold already.
Also a 300D 200+K miles for $1500.....
That was found in the Contracosta times.

Keep an eye out. They are out there.

Or get a car from an auction. $500 -- Good ones are given away for tax deductions and get sold at auction. good meaning that they need some work but not that bad.....of course there are junky ones also.
