Sounds like a good price if the body is in good shape, always be extra careful to inspect Estoril paint as the clear had some peeling issues from the factory. Expect to have the timing chain guides done soon preventatively...

Second the paint comment. Mine needed painting.
Plan on the timing guides as a PM some time in the future. Also, check how the tranny shifts when hot.

Along with the above mentioned stuff, check for the usual E53 suspension issues like the front torsion strut bushings.

Check the rear air suspension, and look out for excess negative camber at the rear that is usually rear upper control arm. Take a peek at the rear subframe while you're there.

Tires are not cheap as well, check the wear and factor that into your negotiation.
