it looks like I am jumping into a TD soon

I found a nicely described TD 78, non turbo... engine problems, minor rust no a/c supprise, and rear saggs. I am going to inspect it myself this weekend. and make a decision. I really want to get the little woman in a MB wagon. but I don't want to have to replace the engine. THe owner says it is really hard to start. he has put new GP's in and had the valves adjusted. he claims 90 on the highway, but I don't know if that was a long hill drop top speed. If it won't start he will cut the price in half, so I am considering it even if I have to tow it home. this will bring me up to 4 MB's two drivers and two parters. I am going to REALLY inspect it for rust. it is from up north, so I am very sceptical.
