~I'm thinking of checking this one out. Here's the link to it on CL. ~ ~http://portland.craigslist.org/car/138182748.html ~ ~ ~This is what the guy wrote in his response. ~ ~I have had this car for about 2 years. It is an automatic. Has always been ~on the road. The only major work I had done to it was to have the ~steering/ignition ~lock replaced when it broke. Brakes are ok, transmission has a little ~slipping but hasn't been a problem, no leaking.. Went to Yakama last summer ~and ~it took the mountains OK. Pretty strong engine. Mileage has always been ~around 15-20, usually closer to 20. ~ ~Interior is not leather, I've got covers for the front seats, back seats ~don't need them. Most gages work. Vacuum system is not hooked up. Great ~heater, ~air conditioner not filled. ~ ~THE PROBLEM: Has suddenly sprung an oil leak. Always used a little oil but ~this is something else. Not sure where it originates. Uses about a quart ~of oil every 40 miles and looses oil when parked. My guy says he can't tell ~where it is coming from without getting into it. I don't have the time, ~talent ~or cash to get into it right now. My guy figures seals. ~ ~I know that it is a rare turbio diesel 300CD, but is this one that could be ~"somethin'," or a junkyard fugitive? ~ ~Kevin in Hillsboro Oregon ~ ~1973 220D parting out ~ ~ -- Luther KB5QHU Alma, Ark '83 300SD (231,xxx kmi) '82 300CD (159,222 kmi) '82 300D (74,000 kmi) needs MAJOR work
