Looks good but one wonders about the price. Seams kind of low not to have problems.
I have a 300D that I have been restoring, and I can tell you that the power windows are a paint to fix. If it is just the switch it is only a 100 dollar part, however if it is the motor it is a 375 dollar part to 175 dollar part depinding on if you like new or rebuilt. So I question the statement that they say they will be fixing the power windows.
Also I did not see anythink about the air conditioner, ususauly on the 300d most of the airs is out by now on that model, and that can cost between as low as 75 to 2,500 depending on the parts needed to fix it. The air on this vehicle is climate controled so if the and a lot can go wrong with all the individual parts I.E the blower moter is 175 dollars, the compressor is 400 dollars and so on, I still cant get mine fixed correctly.
When was the car last serviced I.E. oil change the recomend every 5,000 miles or at least 2 times a year, same for the transmition.
One major question I would ask them Is does the engine turn off on its on. There are a lot of vacum controls on this car from the door locks to the engine cutoff, one comon problem is for the vacum pump to break, or vacum hosing to go bad and the engine does not turn off when you turn the key to the off possition, then you have to open the hood and press the engine turn off switch. This usually is about 200 dollars for the vacum pump plust about 10 bucks for the new hosing but you have to get it right.
Also this is not a turbu diesel this means it is slow to take off until you get it warmed up.
I think it would be a good investment, but the parts are not cheap.
