Looking at buying 82 300TD
Hi,
I am looking at an 82 300TD with approx 250k miles on it. No 3rd seat. It appears to have a few minor paint bubbling spots on a door and right behind the right rear wheel. I had owned an 83 300D in the past (that I had sold at 170k miles). Regarding maintainence, the owner appears to be fairly thouough with shop receipts since he has owned it, about 11 years. He has kept it garaged and the paint and trim look very good, except the few paint spots. The interior looks very good. He had the rear hydraulic shocks replaced with bilsteins several years ago and has within the last had front end maintenance performed. It dorve fairly well, but might need the injectors cleaned (ran rough upon initial start but quickly smoothed out once warmed). I did not get to check all the windows, etc, but I believe that everything works properly. I was wondering about the longevity of the injection pump and other major components on these cars? He is asking $3000 for the car. Is that high or resonable? Thanks,
Lee
