1976 300D questions for the Vets (link inside)
Hey everyone. I'm looking for a cheap vintage diesel. This one car one ebay caught my eye
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tchlink:top:en
1) I was wondering if there are any issues i should be concerned with in these models. There are a few rust spots i can see visually in the engine bay, but overall it looks clean.
2) Is there something specific I should ask the seller? Specifically related to this w115 model?
3) Does the price seem fair? All things given.
From what I understand these motors last 500,000+ miles if maintained nicely. I just really want this model as a weekend car, and possibly use it for gas economy because the 10mpgs im getting in my current car is getting annoying.
Thank you in advance

I just bought one last month for me.
My daughter decided she wanted it as her first car.
