Question Is this '84 300D (Non-Turbo?) worth the money?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=601050540
it's the same car..more pics here though
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=598433605

I drove over there to check it out because it didn't look that bad in the pictures.

My question is, do you guys think it's worth the money?
They also told me that it's a NonTurbo 300D.. but I thought all 300D's after a certain year were all turbocharged?

All four power windows work

What's wrong with the car?
1. Power Antenna is dead, dont know what it is. But, I dont think it's an expensive fix..
2. Central locking does not work, maybe vacuum leak?
3. Missing and loose wood trim (no big deal I think..)
4. The only minor rust spot that I could find was behind the Left rear fender, but it had been repaired.. (though still visible)
5. The engine takes a while to shut off - Again vacuum i guess.
6. Paint is not very good... could use a repaint.
8. The side mirror's motor is weak that it barely moves..
9. The engine must leak oil too cuz it was covered in oil..

I didn't get to drive it though, so I don't know about its transmission... The engine starts fine, and yes it was a cold start.. though it's been pretty mild today (about 50)

The body seems straight, how much do you guys think it's worth? Should I give this a shot or should I pass on it?
The interior is also considerably nice.. (considering its age)

Thanks
