| RE: 1987 300 D-Turbo... I have had my 87 for 17 years.
I have seen some of the interior plastic begin to get brittle. I have replaced it.
The headlight doors were discolored...cost $100 to replace.
The side lights on the front became brittle and I replaced them $100
The mechanics say the 87 had too small of connecting rods and would sometimes bend. They indicated that if this was going to happen it did so in their earlier life.
The timing chain should have been replaced at 100K.
If the wheel paint has faded, figure $230 to exchange them.
If you look at the post regarding A/C leaks and Vaccumn leaks, you might get some ensight too. Does the recirculating heat work?
One thing for sure, they are good drivers and do not have many wiring failures like the 90+ models.
Check these things out berore you buy. [;)]
