this seems like a pretty good deal

http://tampa.craigslist.org/car/474313563.html

is there anything to be worried about on a 93 300 diesel that someone should look for when looking at this car?

The 1993 is a good car but get a PPI first anyways.

Prepurchase inspection. You take it to a local MB mechanic and spend about $100 for them to thoroughly check over the body and drivetrain before you buy the car.

Love the color, but that is almost too cheap. Maybe it is somebody that thinks that mileage is just about a deal killer.
If not, beware......
