Found Possible Donor Motor

[dazsa]

I have found an 80-300D with 170K. The transmission is dead and he is selling it as is. Has lots of other great parts and new tires. It is a non-turbo, just like I need for the 79-300CD. He wants $600 for the whole car. He claims that the moter starts readily and runs smoothly.

What do I need to check on the motor and is it a good price?

Thanks, Don
