Any one herd of a Citroen CX Pallas 2500D?

[Diesel911]

I was reading Chilton's Guide to Diesel Cars and Trucks published in 1983 and they mentioned a car; the Citroen CX Pallas 2500D was being sold here in the US. Any Citroen car is a rare site out here in southren Calif. I wanted to know if anyone has actually seen or herd of the diesel version?
I don't know what a Mercedes sold for back in 83 but the book said they were asking $18,000 for the Citroen. Seems like too much to me.
