Help! 88 300TE Won't Start!

Looking at buying a 1988 300TE in nice condition for only $1,000. However, it won't start. Owner states he parked it 2 weeks ago and it was fine. It turns over real strong and just barely catches but never catches fully. It's got fuel and seems to be getting spark. Any ideas if maybe the injectors might be a problem here? I have only done some limited work on my diesel cars so this gas engine is new to me.
Any info you can give would be a help.

Thanks in advance - Bert
