Opportunity to by what could be really nice car - 1981 300TD wagon. ~132K original miles, rebuilt engine with about 2K miles on it. Has been sitting in a garage for at least 9 years, not running. Any ideas on value or particular pitfalls about me purchasing this vehicle? It would be my first MB, and first diesel. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, but don't have a ton of extra money at the moment.
Suspension "seems" good, no obvious leaks, engine compartment is immaculate. Still haven't tried to start it yet, sort of leery without gleaning advice from people with some experience. Rear hatch supports are shot. Interior is immaculate, body better than fair, medallion broken off by vandals a decade ago. Other than that, I just don't know.
Thanks
