300K miles shouldn't be bad if he's the original owner and has records of it's maintenance. If you're worried, get a pre-purchase inspection. If the body and interior are in good shape and it runs, it's probably worth $800.
Also, since it's a true "euro", are you sure it has 300K miles and not kilometers?

If it is a manual transmission (which I see you mentioning in a different post that it is), you could easily buy it and sell it for a lot more than $800. Manual 123's are in demand.

Theyre rare but some Euro diesels had turbos as well. I have one myself.

The W123 euro non turbo 300D automatics are faster than the equivalent US spec cars.
Many of the euro cars have the desirable manual climate controls, manual wind up crank windows and manual sunroof crank which means a lot lees to go wrong. If you are lucky it will have survived Gray Market importation with the coveted euro bumpers and euro lights on it. If it is unrusty and unwrecked I would be all over it like a cheap suit in the rain for just $800

a non turbo gas consumption ought to be similarto the turbo,nothing to go crazy about,only thing is youll miss the extra power but some non turbos do rip.

I think what is more important with the older cars is the condition of the engine. If you compare two equally maintained vehicles the difference won't be that dramatic. Compare a properly maintained N/A to a beat down turbo and the results will be very different.

The euro's are supposed to be more prone to rust for what its worth
