Make that 83

Lot of money for that. I just bought an 93 300D for $800 that
runs and drives nice. It doesn't look as good on the outside,
needs a paint job, but no rust. Does need a bit of sorting out on
the windows and possible minor front end work, steering damper or
idler bushing. Still not too bad.

If you can get it cheap and the tanny you have works then that 
would work.

I'm figuring no one is going to buy that with a bad tranny, 
wonder if it

would be worth offering a few $hundred and see if he would take it.
Might be a relatively easy fix, or maybe a new tranny? Could get a
junker tranny and see if that would work?  Or I have a pretty 
good one

in the old TD I am thinking to pull apart and take to knackers.

Yes changing mine in 300CD made  a world of difference in shifting &
hesitating.  It still has trainny issues but followed Dr. FRED'S RX.  Take
a fill of M1 ATF & call me in 10k miles. Downshift chunks disappeared & 3-4
up shift flaring about gone. Still hesitates going into reverse so not
ready yet to declare a miracle cure.

Vacuum issue?  Modulator Valve?  Those valves do sometimes just fail in 
mysterious ways.

Looks like a good deal.  For under $4k it could be on the road with a
rebuilt tranny.
