I have an '83 CD

They are beautiful, amazing cars. The one you are looking at has a naturally aspirated engine. The price is about right for a "perfect" example but I would strongly recommend you look for an '81 to '85 with the turbocharged engine. They are still not hotrods but will easily keep up with modern traffic whereas the non-turbo engines may struggle some.

I paid $11500 for mine seven years ago and have driven it over 50k miles since.

Cannot open the link.

did you ever get this car? Or another CD instead? I have a 300 CD with the naturally aspirated engine, and if kept in a good state of tune, the car is capable and pleasant to drive in modern traffic, even with the air conditioning on.
