Urgent! SHould i buy this!???
I'm really sorry but i dont have any pics. It is a 1984 300SD with 184,000 miles. There are only two things that worry me about this car. The high mileage and the seat controls dont work. All windows, power locks, and AC unit work. There is also a bad dashboard. Your all's opinions on this car would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

I hate to disappoint you but that is not high mileage.
Price sounds about right for what you are describing. Does it have any rust. If yes I would not purchase it.

bad dashes
are not as bad as bad jokes! seriously, bad dash is strictly a cosmetic issue. it tells you that the car has set out in the sun enough to crack it. so that might be a significant fact toadd to your mosiac of observations to form an opinion about the car. i agree the price sounds about right.

For what it's worth, I paid $2,500 for my '84 300D. It had 145,000 miles, but a bad A/C and cracked dash. I'm very happy with it, even though I have to install a new fuel primer on Friday. It all depends what it is worth to you.

i bought a 84 with 185K miles 2 years ago for $1,850, currently it has 219K. if the condition looks good then 185K is nothing
