Exclamation Any good 300d's for sale in ft worth/dallas

Looking for a good 80's diesel to purchase near daily driver with minimal work. Not afraid of paying for a good car, but not buy a lemon or get overcharged. Let me know ready to buy!

European Motorcars in FW has some, but they are over priced. I bought mine from them, and have since put 40,000 miles on the car.

Check craigs list as well. Either way, do a PPI.

Check Craigs List. There's always several on there. Also, check cars.com, autotrader, etc. There are usually one or two on there too.

Expect to find badly cracked dash/seats, locked up AC compressor, flaring transmission shifts, worn ball joints, rear sway bar links and dry, leaking windshield seals.
Be patient and read as much as you can here to be aware of what to look out for. Every now and then a nice car will pop up. You have to be quick to beat me to it.
