looked at an 84 300SD today.... :(

[ngarover]

So, found a 300SD, listed for 1900 bucks... original owner, so I went to take a look.

Holy piles of crap batman...

paint, macco and totally shot.

Half the switches missing in the inside, windows held up by wedges of wood.

In the engine, the air cleaner was held in place with a string.... 3 of the 4 return lines for the fuel were vacuum hose... and rotted and pouring out fuel...

was running but on 3 MAYBE 4 cylinders...

I mean I don'[t think there was a part of this car that would not have to be fixed... even the tires were shot...

320,000 miles on it.

I looked at him and ask if he was serious about the price, he was... I said 400 bucks and only as a parts car. He passed... I'm glad.
