when you buy any 2nd hand car without a warranty - you need to have some rainy day money.. the question is, how much is reasonable for a big car that has done 120,000 miles.. which maybe is OK for the diesel block.. but A/c unit would have done a few cycles in that time..
having had a 2nd hand BMW diesel.. bought at 10k miles just out of warranty.. and then needing to sink more than £4,000 worth of servicing and repair bills to get it to 50k miles i.e. 10p/mile..
£300 seems quite cheap.
