Hey all,

I found another nice diesel for sale at a local dealer this time.

1992 300D 2.5 turbo, white on gray tex. A couple of the dash bulbs are out, but everything else is very nice and works. Unable to test A/C. Hood has some bad touch-up paint on it and the metal pieces under the headlights are heavily pitted (good bargaining points, I think). 160,000 miles. Most records available. Highlights include timing chain at about 85,000, front ball joints and tie rods and shocks within 2 years, regular oil changes and tranny service. 2 yr old exhaust system. less then 1 year old tires (Cooper). Seat springs are good, interior is very clean. Tight suspension, tranny and good boost. They are asking $9900.

Book puts it at mid $8000's. I have a trade in, but would I be stupid to get it for like $8500? It' very nice and the wife likes it (a priceless bonus), but I don't want to pay too much either way.

Thanks for any opinions!!

PS: Hmm, some on eBay have gone for $6000-$7000ish.... I do value buying from a dealer versus eBay, though. hmm.
