The key is service history, if it is absent , I would avoid  purchase unless a pre sale inspection can be done.  YOu can usually have someone check the car for you.  I can probably hook you up if you choose this route.
Paint is the least of your worries, rust areas need to be visualized , fenders, door panels, trunk, floor boards.  How many miles?  Currently running?
An 81 300D with great records, service, good body.  $1800-$2500
Any more details you can provide will help me help you

Good luck
Ron
