Make sure that the engine starts flawlessly when it is cold. You
might also want to have a compression check done, if that's possible
with a Diesel. A worn Diesel will be a pain in the butt to start
in winter.


Me, I'd offer the guy $500-600. I bought my DL for $1200 and the
only problems that it had were minor floorboard rust (fixed for
$350) and worn rear bushings. The interior was in good shape,
although the A/C was broken. Mileage was 145k (low for a B230F).
If you can get the car for $5-600 and you have problems with the
Diesel, you can always drop a B230FT from a 740 in, and a rust-free
body is good, especially for an '82.
