I was in a hurry, so I chose to leave... mistake? it was white pulling into south park mall in charlotte...

I'd of seized the moment. An 87 TD sighting, is rare in the first place.

Looks better than the one some kid was peddling in my neighborhood a few years ago, plus a nicer color. Was thinking of replacing my tired 240D, but he was asking $2800 and it had some suspension and tranny issues, plus 180K on the odometer. I must say that it was the sweetest-running diesel I've ever driven, but it had poorly-patched rust in the floors & rockers, and the crossmember below the radiator was completely rotted away. So I passed.
Good luck with yours.

Happy Motoring, Mark
