1975 240D
I have a chance to buy a very clean looking 1975 240D. The speedometer said 62k miles, white exterior and red interior. Are there any special area that I need to look for? What would be a good offer for such car? No rust on the body at all. Engine run, drive a little rough. Thanks in advance.

The only real issue with a car of that age is parts availability. Being a diesel, at 62k miles, it is probably not fully broken in. Fuel pump, glow plugs, injectors will likely need some love and attention, but, I worked with a guy that has a '78 and it is just rock solid.

Yes far far away!!!!
But before you do can you tell me where its at?
Well its sounds like a good car that needs a little TLC, as far as driving a little rough look at the tires from a car that old with the few miles it has the tires are most likely bad.
I picked up a old VW years ago and I thought the front end was going to fall out and by just looking I could not tell it was bad tires replaced the tires and it was great.
Look at the front end parts first.
