O.K. , I'm in So. Cal. and looking at beater 300TD's for hauling our Foster kids 'round in . turbo is a must .

Most $700.00 ~ $2,000. TD's are rusty thrasher junkers , pre turbo to add injury to insult .

I'm a Mechanic and can fix one up over time but I cannot afford to purchase a nice one for $7K all at once (more's the pity as there's scads of those here) .

Anyways , any comments or offerings ? . I have cash in hand and expect to drive one home , repair the usual stuff : HVAC , tires , shocks , seats etc. , etc. but I'd rather not buy one that smokes like a train ,my Coupe does that already although it runs *tits* , hauls ass and gets 27 MPGs . (only 500 miles per quart of oil tho' )

Light colors are a plus , any leads appreciated ! .

TIA ,
