School me on the 300SD
There is a 300SD for sale locally and I do want to find out more about them and whether I'm getting a proper deal.
It's a 1984 300SD Turbodiesel with 110k miles. It is still under the original owners and doesn't look to have much rust; I've been told it's been stored under a cover for the winter. I've also been told that it runs fine although I haven't test driven it before but the body looks straight.
They are asking for $2500.
Anything to look out for on these cars? Also, how is the price?

But how is the $2500 price for a 110k mile car? Should I watch for transmission issues or other mechanical issues? What about electronic issues that might be prevalent on these vehicles?
