just added a 1983 300SD to the fleet

[turbozeke418]

I just picked this car up today for $4100. Just trying to get some thoughts on if I actually got a good deal or not.
1983 300SD 131,000 miles. Usual bells and whistles that all work. Sunroof, AC, Becker radio , all windows all work. NO rust on the car and it's from one owner and garaged most of its life. They only put about 3,000 miles on her in the past 10 years. There are only a couple of things that I am going to have to troubleshoot.

- When stepping on the accelerator it takes a few seconds before she actually starts to move. My N/A 300TD takes off quicker to 20 mph. After 20 though this thing gets going.
- It also seems to shift very soon into fourth gear. When shifting from drive to park it still sound like something is moving or slowing down internally before it park engages. 1-2 seconds.
- the tachometer doesn't work. It jumps a little initially but doesn't do anything besides that.

This is my first turbo diesel so I know I'll be playing around with this a little to get to get a little bit more power. All in all it's a decent car. Any thoughts or advice?
