If it had a manual trans I’d be interested. I sold mine, 87 model in WAY worse shape for $1800 to a buyer in Wisconsin with 275k miles on it, 3 sets of rims (all hideous) and he drove it hone from Texas after using and destroying my sawzall to remove all but the “best” 5 tires, then bought 4 new tires 100 miles north of San Antonio when heading home. Mine was a rare manual though, it was also a non turbo. All I did was place a dozen r so Craigslist adds nation wide as YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT GEEK.

If anybody has 190D turbo manual cars or even decent non turbo manual shift cars or later 80’s to 90’s 300D manual shift cars in decent shape for relatively cheap let me know via PM. I’m a sucker for the 300D inline six turbodiesel, manual shift cars, rare as hens teeth here but I’ve looked at a couple and driven one, old school paradise to me but I’m a weirdo. Located central Texas but willing to travel for right car(s). My basic rule of thumb for determining whether or not it is even worth looking at is IF YOU trust it for a one to two thousand mile drive. Obviously age related issues are acceptable but I’m only interested in manual shift. If I can’t find one stateside I’ll be importing next year from Europe.
