'89 230TE buyer's advice?

a friend asked me to help him find an affordable (meaning cheap) wagon. he likes my wife's car, which is an '87 300 TDT. i found him an '89 230TE which is a german import, the car is in very good condition and in his price range. this example has been well maintained and is only on it's 2nd owner. the rest of the car is very good for the price tag and the fact that it is a euro model is appealing since it lacks many of the power options that can be problematic on a 20-year-old car.

what i don't know much about is the engine in this car. how is the 2.3l engine in terms of longevity? mileage is at 255K kms (155K mi).
