This lying seller says he has a 84 123 that routinely gets 34-36 mpg. Makes me wonder whether any of the ad is true.

I thought by 84 all the 300D's had turbos. Check out the pics, the car looks nice, but somebody has definitely used the silver spray paint on the engine - look at the air filter housing. All this makes me think this guy is trying too hard to hide something. The sad thing is, the car LOOKS really nice. But, if you can't trust the seller, the car is probably questionable. Donald H.
