'85/'86/'87 (??) 300D Greymarket for sale - What do y'all think?

Here is the link:
http://austin.craigslist.org/car/236714043.html

The guy said he would take $600 for it. I'm very tempted. I don't really need a car, but I might use it for parts, or I'm thinking of fixing it up for resale. Would I be getting myself into a big mess if I try to fix it up? I wonder how many of the parts would be compatible with my 1987 300D?

Likely not a turbodiesel, but may be. Make me an offer on my '87 300D parts car otherwise, in classifieds.

the car looks ok for condition. the parts availability thing wouldnt worry me, nor would the lack of a turbo. imho it doesnt have to be very nice to be worth 600.

Is it an auto or stick? I might be interested in it if you don't get it. Turbo?
