General comments?
This is such a great car. The most comfortable I have ever been in. Yea its pretty raw and things don't work. like no AC, but its great. Only problem I had is that parts are hard to find and expensive, other wise id say well worth the money. The one I got, the original owner let sit for a while so its not in greatest condition, but overall strong runner. Really peppy for a diesel. Great for Road Tripping or everyday driver. Plenty of room. My dad used it for construction when his truck broke down and this thing hauled steel beams no problem. The suspension out lasts the car.
