It does seem that the market is a bit bearish for diesels like that right now.last year i sold a rusty 123 turbo diesel with barley cool A/C for almost 3 grand.it had about 100k less on the odometer though.same color combo too.
I imagine the price of fuel and the collapse of credit helped fuel(ha!) the demand for these and other diesel cars.Suddenly the rusty old diesel from even the big 3 were getting a lot more interest and then the fuel prices came down......wich is good if you are looking to buy.because we all now that nothing changes and we should never read about history to find out about repeating events either............all is well
