You are correct in the price, but he is going to balk. It is time for a timing belt, water pump, rollers, tranny flush, all other fluid flushes, struts?, and an unknown Pnnnn?

If you live in a place that has emmissions checks, pass on the car. It could be something as simple as an O2 sensor, or, it could be a cold air pump and SAS valve.

Oh, ask if the oil separator has ever been replaced. That's 5 hours of labor + parts.

If the door rattles when closing, the window guide needs fixing. If the rear hatch closes with a bank, new struts.

200K is a lot of miles if there are no maint records. And a 13 year old car.
