Opinion: 1992 300D or 1983 300 Wagon?
Looking for opinions on a couple of cars I'm looking at am going to convert to WVO w/ heated tank and all the fixins...
1) 1992 300D w/ 187K miles. $1400 Fair condition, but overall sound. Leaky injector pump around one of the exit lines -> thinking o-ring fix since it runs fine. Locally owned. 2) 1983 300 Wagon (no turbo) w/ 175K miles. $2000 Good condition, and has greasecar tank already plumbed. 3-4 hour drive from where I live. I and wife kinda sorta like sedan, but am open as well to other sides of argument. Thanks. Dubbel

If you're going to convert to WVO can I recommend a GM diesel.

Wagons get a bit too greasy inside. You cant just hose them down like a sedan trunk.

92 for $1400 sounds like a deal.

Good deal, but...
Yeah, it's a good deal.
Any suggestions of things to look for that could be deal breakers?

At that price, if it has heat and drives, it's a good deal.

Even had the nozzle in my hand and luckily an angel changed my mind somehow (must have been divine intervention b/c I'm normally pretty stubborn). Thanks for everybody's opinions. Cheers
