looking at a 89 300se

The car looks good from the outside and inside but the engine leaks oil and there is vibration when going over 45 to 50 m.p.h.
He has replaced o2 sensor, exhaust, Alternator, shocks, brakes. He says it needs a tuneup and a windshield. Car has 165k miles and runs ok but i did not get the floaty feeling after letting go of the gas pedal. The car tends to want to slow down. I am always used to the feeling you get when using synthetic oil and the car wants to keep moving. He is asking 6500. and has not changed the timing chain. Is the timing chain important on the six cylinders and how expensive can it be to repair the leak in the engine. I like the car but feel ify about the engine and tranny. I did not take it over 60m.p.h.
thanks for the replys.
