Please help.

What happened to you last week ? I sent you a PM... did you get it ? I also sent info about a car I saw between here and where you are...

If it is non turbo that goes with the Euro designation..
sounds like someone either stuck the turbo tag on it...or swapped out the rear door ... they have been known to rust out at the bottom all the way across if leaks are not corrected...
Many people would like to have that combo in a wagon...

T stands for ' touring sedan'... like a station wagon here...or an estate wagon in England...

Sorry, but we only have one car right now and the wife works. I am on disibility, but don't have a car. I got the PM. Still working on getting the wagon. I am just trying to figure out what is what with the Wagon. Was it a TD and someone changed the engine out? Swapped the rear gate? or?
The guy that has it says he bought it from a Korean guy in Spring that was moving home but didn't speak good english. No one has come up with the cash yet. but he doesn't want to dicker on the price.
Wife found a 86 300sd in Garland with 156k on it. Guy Started @ $2950, but today offered it to us for $2k today. I would pefer the Wagon but don't want to get the shaft on it. If I pass on it I will send you the info to pass on to RL.

Thanks
Richard.

By the looks of it, "Berlin branch" I would guess this is a euro car. It may also be an 84 model too! Usually they say "USA" if imported here.

Here is an extended list for this car...................
