Still looking for a mercedes 300d in saint louis. Just found this one on Autotrader... http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=214841349&dealer_id=100005170&car_year=1982&num_records=&model=&make2=&start_year=1981&engine=&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&certified=&fuel=&body_code=0&search_type=both&distance=200&make=MB&color=&min_price=&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&max_mileage=&style_flag=1&sort_type=yearDESC&address=63105&advanced=&end_year=1988&transmission=&doors=&max_price=&cardist=10

if the car "running out of fuel" is correct, would the only thing you would need to do is make sure the battery is charged and the glowplugs working, and then put some diesel in it and use the primer pump? This car probably has a few other issues as well, plus some cosmetic issues. Could be just dusty, and a detailing could clean it up. What do you think this car would need to start, or does it just need fuel and to be primed and the seller does not know? And if anyone knows of a 300d for sale in saint louis, please drop me a PM, i'll be buying one soon now. Thanks
