Guys need some pre purchase advice
I found an 85 300d with 180K on the clock.
The Good The body is completely straight, all the trim pieces are there and in good condition with the exception of the grill which has part of the plastic broken around the hood release. The engine fires straight away and don't even need to wait for the plugs although our daytime high is over 100 right now. Arizona. However feels anemic, prolly needs valve adjust, IP purge, filters etc.. Transmission shifts well although 1-2 is a little abrupt. There are no oil leaks!!!! THe engine compartment is VERY clean. The bad. Paint has oxidized on the hood and overall is dull. The finish on the wheels is shot but they are not curbed AC not functioning HVAC blower motor not functioning rear windows not functioning sunroof not functioning cracked dash and cracked instrument cluster. antenna doesn't retract all the way. I think those are the major issues. I am contemplating trying to rehab this car but seller wants 1600. I think its worth 1K and will need lots of work. Maybe 2K plus. The car might be worth 4500-5K if it were brought back.
