Hi guys!

Wanted to follow up on that '85 300 turbo diesel I went to see....The seller had pumped this car up! He told me that it had power windows, sunroof, a/c, vacuum locks...the works! What he MEANT to say was that the car was EQUIPPED with those toys in 1985, but unfortunately NONE of them worked!! The interior had "cat scratch fever" and smelled like VOMIT!!!!! AND don't ya think that someone who was selling a car would at least wipe off the dash?? Eewwwww it had some LAYER of thick ear-wax-like substance over the instrument cluster! I was nervous!
Not to mention....the way the car RAN!!!!!!!!! I mean, I was willing to work on making it pretty, but WOOF! This car idled like a rabid dog on a leash! It was WAY out-of-control!!!!!!!!!! The tach didn't work either, but I'd guess that it was idling at either 4000rpms or .0004 rpms...I couldn't tell! It ran sooooo rough!
It needed some fuel..it was BELOW "R", so the guy said to pull into the gas station....and he put TWO DOLLARS in it! (He was all heart...lol)
He continued to tell me how the car's book value was 4900$ He really thought I was a MORON! He kept LYING about everything! I kept thinking that he'd have to pay ME that much to take it off of his hands!
I will say that the car did really well on the interstate...really smooth....but I do alot of city driving and with that idle, people might think I was wanting to RACE them or something! lol!! :p

So...what am I trying to say here?? Well, I didn't buy that car...
