I am new to the forum but have owned a few MB's in the past (190E 2.6, 300SD, 300D turbo) When I owned these the internet was in its infancy. I now am looking for advice on the purchase of a 87 300D turbo. I have searched the archives and have determined the head can be a problem and suspension components. The car I am looking at has 295K on the clock and a great deal of maintenance records (I'll see them today). I am told the head has been redone, the struts replaced and various other suspension components. AC works most of the time, sometimes stops cooling on its own and restarts when the car is restarted (clutch?). Paint has some clear coat issues, all windows and seats work, cruise does not. Is there anything particular to the 87 that I need to check? Does the IP last over 300K on these? The seller is asking $3,000. Should I invest in a Carfax? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
