Thanks!

Actually I talked to Pierre on the phone many many times during the past month, trying to locate some nice 300Ds. This particular car is from the Montreal region, about 800 km (500 miles) from my place, and I discussed it over the phone with Pierre before making an offer (which was refused). I called the owner a month later with a better offer and he accepted.

As I said the previous owner was a fanatic, even had a small electrical heater inside the car during storage so the vinyl wouldn't crack. He almost never parked it outside and wouldn't drive it if it looked like it was going to rain.

The type of guy you want to buy a car from!
