Kaleb (or anyone else), You remember the $350 '82 300SD...well, I have it on CL for $1650:
http://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/1004824610.html A guy with an '87 300E came to look at it last night. Turns out, he has it on CL too: http://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/998880287.html He doesn't buy, but calls back today and wants to trade - even swap. He needs a running car and fears that he will not get anything for the 300E as it has a cold start problem that he cannot solve. He's replaced 6 injectors, rotor and distributor. (PO did valve job and timing chain). Anyway, I did a little research on 300E cold start problem and it is clear that he has not addressed some of the simplest things - cold start valve, temp sensor, bunch of other things to check first. I am inclined to do this trade as it could be a really simple fix...seems that it is LIKELY to be a simple fix. OTOH, it could be expensive and complicated. I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH GASSERS, SO I DON"T KNOW IF IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO GO AHEAD AND TRADE. I have a 7:30 meeting to look at it. Appartently has almost no rust, nice interior, fast, drives well, blah blah. THOUGHTS?
