The 123 is a great car...u need a block heater if your going to be in extreme temperatures...it's just chancey without one...Would you put your dog out in the 10 F. temperatures and expect him to jump up and run over to you every morning for a pat on the back? You'd be better off getting a horse...but no try the 1984-85 300 Turbo Diesel there good...You need to take into consideration that with 20+ years there will be issues and up keep..count on it.
