Cheapest W126 Diesel for $550?

I took a gamble and bought an old 1985 W126 Mercedes 300SD turbo diesel as a commuter car. Will it work out for me?
Follow me at Coachstop Motorworks and see if I made a smart purchase or not and what I might need to fix to get or keep her road worthy.
I also do a walk around of what you should look for and fix when buying one of these old diesel Mercedes.

Haha yes I could! With the cooler weather in the Mid Atlantic it would be tough preventing it from solidifying.
