I called him again, no sunroof, yay I'll be able to sit up straight without hitting the ceiling! No records either, he is just an estate liquidator so knows nothing about the car. He stressed that it is like new appearance wise. I think I will offer $2,500 cash.

I would appreciate any info on what I should plan on for this car if I buy it. Already learned of the head gasket from Shertex and some searching tells me I should check for chain stretch on the dual chain drive for the cam & IP, what about the oil pump chain? Also will this have the vacuum pump without the caged bearings like my OM603? Also heard about the wastegate mod, thanks Sixto. I need a crash course on the OM602!

Will need FSM for it as well and will probably sell or trade my 1987 300D factory manual set.
