thanks, i have found another one also in my area, its an 82 300d that has 216,000 miles for a little more $. i'm planning to ask about service records, but one question i have is that it says a/c doesnt work and i was wondering if these thing have a common problem or something i could check and any guesses on how much to fix, i know its kinda hard to guess without seeing the car but i figured id ask. thanks again
