One of my friends has a 300 TD.
It's a very nice car with over 300k miles on it. It's solid and reasonably quick. Once it gets up to speed it's an awesome ride.
It does require more maintenance than my SAAB does. The diesel engine needs regular injector service and valve adjustments. A lot of the service tasks require you to have very small hands and at least one extra joint in each of your arms :-) Not to mention the 8 quarts of synthetic oil it takes.
But, like I said, it's quite a solid vehicle. At least the ones in the South are solid. I seem to remember a few back in Syracuse, NY that were held together with duct tape because of the rust.
If I had the chance, would I get one? Absolutely. (But a SAAB would be my first choice.)
