I've done that before. Where is home?
I'd say buy it, put Mobil 1 in the sump, a full can of diesel kleen in the tank, another in the trunk, fill it with good diesel fuel and head out. At each tank of fuel add another can of diesel kleen and hope its just schmutz in the injector or a lifter that isn't pumping up.

Don't ask how... I got it VERY cheap and it is a rust free diesel w124 in SWMBO's favorite color. (SWMBO is tired of the tired w123) I can fix mechanical things, Rust cancer is another story. Now, I have to get this car home. The cheapest route would be fly out to Baltimore, MD. and drive it home. One problem though, the car has a miss. Doesn't burn motor oil, it just doesn't hit on all five. So... Do I fly out and fix what I assume to be wrong (injector or glow plug) and hope for the best? Do I find a local to the car indy to t/s first? Or do I contract a carrier to haul it home? Decisions, decisions.
