Yes I have! Since the '93 200 TDi is off the road at the moment, I've spent £200 on a '90 200TDi 3 door manual.
Why ? Because I need a diesel for it's torque! Although my V8 has plenty power, it gets stuck in deep snow because it has no torque.
For £200 as you can imagine there is a catch.
It has been off the road for 12 months and has no MOT or Tax. However I'm told by the previous owner it only needs a few simple things to pass, but I don't know for sure as the certificate is missing and after 12 months lots of other fail items could have appeared!
I've got a garage with a ramp, so I'll tow it to there later and put her up in the air to see what's what.
Hopefully I haven't bought something worse than my current 200! If so that defeats the purpose of buying this one instead of fixing my current one!
