Related to my search for a good mechanic is my search for a good 1987 300 SDL Turbo Diesel. I looked at one today, 170,000 miles, good external appearance, interior worn and dingy... obviously not well maintained, suspension didn't seem tight... even a bit rattley. air-conditioner never worked since the owner bought the car from her brother, Turbo seemed a bit sluggish. All of this was for $7000.

So, any suggestions were I can find a really mint condition 1987 SDL in or around Los Angeles?

Any help would be extremely appreciated.
