1991 300D Turbo, Good Deal or Money Pit?

[Rich300TDMBZ]

This is an interesting description of the 1991 300D Turbo. According to the seller - "One of the salesmen drove it home one day and it hasn't cranked since". It has a new battery and glow plugs but still will not start. It may as simple as a clogged filter, or maybe the saleman messed up the engine (overheated??). However, it does have 280K miles. Maybe a good deal for someone nearby who can check it out. It has no reserve, and may go low.
Note: I'm not associated with the seller in anyway.
