Depends on what's wrong with it and how much you want to put into it.

It could be something relatively cheap and simple or complex and expensive. If I may ask, how much is he asking.

A variance of 5 lbs is not a problem. I wouldn't take his word for it. Check it for yourself. It may not have spark on all 6 cyls.

$200 for everything

If the lower unit is good, it's worth $200 by itself.
