The newer '87 300TD is by far my choice, much more refined, more powerful, quieter, better mileage, and most parts are available used as the many gas-powered sedans and wagons are making their way to junkyards / dismantlers.

The downside of it is the #14 head concerns, and that they only made them in MY 1987, so nice ones are hard to find (truly nice, not just painted up to look nice).

You find a nice one with a good service history, grab it. It'll serve you for many miles, there are lots out there with 350,000miles and more (and that's just miles with the odometer working!).
