Hello everyone.

I've never owned a 240D. I am considering purchasing one that is relatively close. I test drove it the other day, and have a few questions. I also welcome any general opinions.

Here is the car in question...

-I know 240Ds are slow with their low horsepower to body-weight ratio. I've owned numerous Japanese vehicles in the 60-70HP range (although these are lighter vehicles). This 240D (a manual) seems to accelerate VERY slowly from a dead stop. What would one expect a decent 240D to feel like off the line? I just want to get a sense of what's 'normal'.

Aside from that, is 350 PSI compression decent for for these?

And, the floor of the trunk is rusted through in enough areas that it's completely shot.

Thanks for any advice.
