380SE Advice

I've come across a one-owner, 1983 380SE, light ivory, 95K priced @ $2900/bo. There aren't service records, but it belongs to an elderly gentleman who never drove it in the winter as he spent his winters in Greece. It appears to be a cream puff as I used to park my 82 240D in his garage during the winter months.

I've searched this forum and it apparently it's recommended that 380 owners replace the timing chain, guides, and tensioner @ 100K. Is this a costly repair? What other sort of repairs should I expect?

Bottom-line, I'm looking for a safe, reliable car next year while I'm in graduate school and I won't have a lot of extra cash for repairs.

Any advice would be most appreciated! Peace!
