The wife's car (2000 Bonneville) is starting to get up in years and miles, and we are trying to save up some money to replace it. I've been thinking about looking into a 300D as a 3rd vehicle for both of us to drive. As I under stand it, in general they were pretty much bullet proof, and are good candidates for WVO blends. I've driven a few over the years that were owned by a friend of mine, and I do like them. Having driven them, I know that I would like to have one with a turbo...
What information/advise can anyone give me on this subject? Looks like there are a number of 300D available from '81 to '87. Then it looks like there are a few from the early 90's. If I could find a good deal on one from the 90's that sounds like the direction I would like to go as it would likely have all the safety stuff that my wife would want on it, plus it would be new enough that she would like the styling and it could serve as the replacement for her Bonneville for all practical purposes. Anything out of the 80's would likely be driven primarily by me to save on fuel costs, and she would only drive it when she had to. After being tagged by a drunk driver, she's a huge fan of air bags, and lots of them.
Any info/advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
