Starting at $5500? Seems a bit pricey for an 87' with 268K. I would say more like $3500 seems reasonable. It is a very nice looking car however.

Make an offer. Good luck!

Thumbs up

Not for that kind of money. At least the paint looks nice.

I'd pass on this one - too pricey.

Good question. If I have one on my SDL I have no idea where it is and I'm in CA. It's just an extra special good feeling to go to the DMV and say "no smog, it's a diesel".

Did you get that email?

I think he meant Registration sticker. No smog check in CA for diesels
Here is an SDL in San Francisco for $4500:
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/car/189983574.html
Says new engine installed!
Warning! I believe I see a pack Of Marlboros on the console, it could be a stinking car owned by a heavy smoker.

I had to pass up on a 260E with a nice 5 speed in it because of that! No way would I sit in that car more than 15 seconds

The Dash has a cover in one picture which usually means cracks. If the car has a new compressor & hoses, how come it needs to be recharged? The Becker radio looks like it has cigarette ash over it - definitely a smokers car.

A good car at $3500 maybe, but not at $5500 with what could be expensive issues unresolved.
