I read the ad.

Looks like the important stuff got replaced...especially the window regulators...a common nuisance failure on these cars.

Add idler pulley and power steering pump to the list of potential failures to look for...although at that mileage, they have probably been attended to.

Parts prices aren't too far off from comparable MB parts of that vintage. However, the tight engine compartment almost always requires removal of other components, so if you are farming out the work, labor will be twice the cost of the part getting replaced!

The inline 6 is spiffy, but not a road dominator. A VTEC Honda can get into much more trouble than a 323.
