Oh Just saw this - but yes, engine bulletproof, Transmission was heading towards needing replaced at over 155k - which is why I'm in a D4 now lol

Hi and welcome

Assume its a V8 - very rare in the UK but I believe the engine is fairly bullet-proof - but I'm not really sure after that - there is a guy on this site from Utah that (I think) had a V8 D3, (Rossettaquarrier) - he might be worth a contact

Check all suspension works correctly and all electrics, check floor for damp (sun roof, if fitted, can leak), usual other checks on gear box changing, condition of oils etc

A full and detailed service history is essential - ideally with proof of preventative maintenance - if it hasn't got one, walk away.

Good luck
