If they need replacement, it's a 3-400 dollar bargaining point, and if the seller does not want to pay for replacement and you do buy the car, get that fixed first. It's too nice an engine to waste if they fail.
Good call - I had to replace the oil cooler lines on my w108, but it wasn't that expensive.
