A guy I work with told me about a diesel W123 Mercedes on a small lot out in podunk nowhere. I called a little bit ago and the owner told me it's an '82 model 300D turbo with a four-speed standard shift and manual windows and sunroof. Does it sound like a European model or could it be someone's half-assed conversion? The car has 185K miles and the A/C compressor is locked up. Asking price is $1750. It's not too terribly far away from me, so I might take a little drive to look at it tomorrow morning.

Any comments or suggestions?
