You appear to have some inconsistent information from your Diesel Discussion help thread and your Cars for Sale thread:

The Harbor Freight tester is a US General, not a Matco, although that can easily be explained away as you used both. Either way the readings do not match.
OK, this was posted in the parts section in October. Were these parts needed and installed?

It appears you purchased a car with issues, might or might not have fixed the issues, and either way are selling it rather quickly. No law against that, but it should be duly noted.

How much of the above work have you actually done, and how much was reported to you by the previous owner, who in one post you questioned his possible honesty?
I live in the area and am looking for a W124 but have questions with this car......
