they are nice little diesels, have good fuel economy and are reasonably reliable. i would say go for it, if the price is right. however, finding parts for them, aside from filters and belts, can be harder than average. two items to pay strict attention to, as with any diesel, keep the oil clean and filled, and the cooling system in good order. you should have years left with it if these two items are attended to regularly. good luck!
