Hey guys,
I'm looking for a Diesel in the Southern California area. I'm looking to spend around $3000. I'm open to any model... I'd just like it to be clean, relatively rust-free, and not have a more than 200k miles on it. Otherwise, I'm really not picky.

I'm looking to buy in the next week or so, cash in hand.

Thanks!

When did you move to SoCal?

BTW, hi from BFC OT!

Hey!

Well I'm actually not moving out until August 24th... I'm doing everything I can to have a car bought before I arrive. Gonna be studying Transportation Design at Art Center.

Wooo BFc

There's lot's of them around here. You can be picky too if you have the time.
Under 200K makes it tougher though. Good Luck.

You could also go to Autotrader.com and use a LA zip code like 90012. Put a range of 100 miles or less and the model number and year range and you will get all sorts of cars.

I'd sell you my 1984 300SD for $1500. You can read all about it here. I don't have the time, money, or interest anymore. You can see what I'm in the car for on the following thread.

Back in the diesel game - 1984 300SD

I would drive this car across the country tomorrow. Mechanically, it is sound, but it is pretty ugly. New tires, new shocks, new brakes, valve cover gasket and valves adjusted, R-12 working AC, misc other parts. ZERO rust.

NEEDS: Power seat connection fixed - passenger rear window regulator - center vent dashpod - Cosmetics!

You can PM here if interested.


OOPS....I just saw this post http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/diesel-discussion/283054-pre-purchase-diagnosis-test-results-thoughts.html#post2527862, and it looks like you found one. Hope it is working out for you.
