95' e320 with broken drive shaft/flex disc

Found this e320 close by and will be looking at it further tomorrow. $700 for 95' e320. What should I expect to spend replacing these items? New flex disc for sure. But is it a good idea to buy a used driveshaft? Thanks for your thoughts and ideas.

flex disks are easy and cheap, looking at about $120 for both. If you can find a used drive shaft maybe, check the existing out out. They are remarkedly durable.

OK cool that doesnt sound to bad. Hope the rest of the car is not trashed. $700 almost sounds TOO cheap you know?

This could be a great deal, it could also be a very bad deal. 95 E320s have a handful of very very common and very very expensive problems. They are: enigne wire harness, head gasket, throttle actuator, and ac evaporator. The cost of correcting these common problems can easily exceed the value of the car.

By a factor of two.

Surely you mean a factor of 10.
