Hi there,

This is quite so, and the 300D is a great engine, the only thing i would be looking for is to see that it has had regular servicing, check the service book and make sure that all the coupons have been check off this is the best way to see if it has been kept up and also you will see who has serviced it, a dealer will be a bonus as well.
