Contemplating a 1985 300D

Hi
Im thinking about buying a 300D Turbo. The car is located in memphis TN. The guy who has it deals in older benzes he says the car is in mint shape ie everything works in addition to this he says that the body was repainted however he states it was done right ie stripped to bare metal and repainted. He is asking 5000
for it Is this a fair price? The car has about 150k mi on it. Its smoke silver over palamino. I know that at this mileage the car is still a baby however what questions should I ask him about the car?

I really wanted a 1989 560SEL he has but Gas Prices here in Canada are getting ridiculous ie 1.03$per litre CND for premium and I already have one vehicle that doesnt get great mileage<04 Hemi Quad Cab 4X4>
I plan on flying down and driving back about 1950mi accoding to yahoo maps. I live in the Northeast and there are not too many 123 diesels for sale here and most that do come available are rust buckets filled with bondo and tend to be way over priced.

BTW anyone have any pics of this color combo id like to see it
he hasnt sent me the pics of the car yet id really appreciate it

Thanks in advance
JT

I've got an '85 I'll sell you for cheap, not cherry but solid, saving $3000+ dollars buys a lot of fixing up...
