I'd check for jackpoint rot, and front torsion bar corrosion; on my 84, these were the "weak points." Others here will have suggestions that are more extensive.
If the car is in good shape, $5500 isn't bad; it can easily go another 150,000 miles. A car that can go 300k miles would be very expensive today.
Hope this helps....if you buy it, please post a pic and let us know how it goes.

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] 1985 turbo diesel
I am contemplating the purchase of a 1985 turbo diesel with 120,000 miles. The car is tip top…no rust, and aside from a few chips in the paint a great looking car. I am in Wisconsin and I want to know if 5500.00 is a fair price and can I use it as a daily driver? What should I be looking at on this car? Thank for the help!!
