I probably need this car like a hole in the head. I sold my last 87 300 td wagon 2 years ago after sinking a fortune in repair bills into it. Thats what happened with my 87 300 td wagon, I bought it for $5200.00 with 200k mines on it. I put another 4k into it in the first month. My fault, I took it to a local mechanic who is pricey. He did brakes, glow plugs, water pump, all fluids, front end work, etc.....I was so frustrated spending all that money. I bought the car to save money, my wife was like "would it not have been better to just spend $199.00 a month a lease a new toyota and not have to worry about all these repairs? " Well now here I go again. But I figure the one I bought last night with such low mileage would probably do well if I decide to sell it. I see cars like that on ebay in the 5k range. Oh I forgot to mention, the wagon I bought 3 years ago for $5200.00 plus 4k in repairs I sold on EBAY for $8500.00 so it was not too bad of a loss.
Now today I see in the paper a 1985 300 td wagon for $3100.00, I call the guy and make an appointment, It just hit the paper today. There were 2 people waitting in the driveway behind me. I had to either buy it on the spot for his asking price or loose it. So I took it. It has 159k miles on it, very clean in and out, well maintained and drive svery nice. I originally thought I would just flip it on ebay, but now I like it and think I may keep it. I already have a new car so this would be a second. Someone give me some advice, keep her or sell her?
