There's nothing inherently wrong with TDs in general. Properly maintained
they are very reliable. However when buying one you have 50 years and who
knows how many Dumb Previous Owners (DPOs) working against you, plus a
current owner (possibly a DPO) who may have a grossly exaggerated
perception of the car's condition and of its value. Unless you have tons
of money to throw around, it pays to be careful. If you can find an
expert to take with you, do so.
