I have seen a couple of early 80's GM v-6 diesels and passed on opportunities to buy them. From what I recall the V-6s were OK (compared with the V-8s).

-But you won't find any spares in junkyards.
-You will have to live with the horrible build quality of GM cars of that era.
- Hope you like crushed velour seats
