Yep and don't feel bad about it... You don't know what the outcome will be after all. I'd bet it's going to be easier/better than you think but you never know. So... buy cheap.
I bought my 87 300d for $500 with the same scenario... dead battery, would hardly crank with a jump... no clue if the trans was ok... no clue... anything. They said $900... I offered $500 since I didn't know what I was getting.
Other than rubber being shot from sitting, the windows having issues, few other things that have driven me nuts, it's been a great car. It runs great.
Now I hardly drive it because I've been running my old ugly 6.2 suburban on veg oil (new two tank setup). So my 2 MB's sit in the driveway.
