Kevin,
Yes, you can apply that money to a 240D, but you'll still have a low power, 
smaller, worse handling vehicle than the 1980 300SD.  And you can buy a kit on 
eBay for $450 to replace the servo system.  I have a 1980 300SD which now has 
around 420,000 miles.  I finally replaced the trans about 2 years ago.  It 
still has the original exhaust system and has never had the head off or any 
other major work.  I had it unregistered for about a year, sitting in the 
garage, but it's the wife's car and she wanted it drive-able, so I've started 
getting things back in order. All that remains is getting the AC back in order 
when it gets warm.  There is no comparison between the ride of a 240D and a 
300SD.  Yes, the price may be a bit high, but if all is OK, start negotiating.  
I got mine at 186,000 miles over 20 years ago and I've never regretted it.
