I bought that 300DT on ebay for $1950 last month. POS, though but I couldn't stop myself and started to fix it up. So far I put in a new exhaust front to rear, rebuilt brake calipers all four wheels, new glow plugs, I spent days to fix that electrical system, I just picked it up at the bodyshop ($1500) and dropped it of at the mechanic for repairs/maintenance. After checking the car thoroughly the estimate is at $2300 to fix/service it all. In detail: allmost all moving parts of front suspension have to be replaced, rear stabilizer bar missing (Why would anybody remove it
) Tranny and engine are in pretty good shape for 260000 miles, very little blow by, one major oil leak at the oil filter housing and the second connector IP to fuelline is leaking. Engine mounts and shocks have to be replaced, no problems at all with tranny. By the end of next week I will have paid close to $6500 for a 21 years old car. I sure hope it was worth it...
