The car is in Maryland. I'm here for a month and thought i'd buy something to drive while i'm here, and since i'm interested in the 24d engine and 4 speed tranny, what the hell I'll buy it and drive it back to Cali.
I'm uncertain of the mileage since the odometer isn't working, however, the car is clean as far as oil leaks go, it looks nice on the underside, the rubber bushing and such look very good. The air conditioning doesn't work, but the car runs strong, purrs like a kitten at idle and shifts well. The clutch pedal feels a little high which could mean it needs adjusting or may need a clutch soon.
diametricalbenz: I'l let you know what I decide once i'm back in J Tree. If I pull the engine for the truck i'll be parting it out or selling the body outright.

Thanks for the feedback
