I can't believe that I'm posting a "tell me what to do thread" but I need some informed opinions to either talk me into or out of buying this beast. Here's the down and dirty:

87 300SDL
One owner
250,000 miles
Exterior fair with one rust spot on front rocker panel
Interior really nice...probably a 9 out of 10
Starts and runs really well. No blowby
Needs front transmission seal
Talked him down to $1149 for the car out the door. (It's a dealer)

Informed opinions appreciated.
