There are two sets of points for Djet.  The normal ones are available, the 
Trigger Points are NLA.  Those can be rebuilt.  Had my indy do two sets, so I 
had a spare.  The wiring harness fails, the contacts need to get cleaned of 
oily muck.  VERY carefully

Garbage fuel.  The seller is pretty spot on that fuel system needs going over.  
Filter is probably good, same with fuel pump.  Fuel lines will want replace if 
any alcohol fuel has been used.  I get misfires using pump fuel, but alcohol 
free fuel causes no issues at all.

Might have issues with the injectors leaking or not spraying well.  That was 
another trouble I rectified in my SL.  Costly, but it avoided an engine fire to 
get the perished rubber gone.  

Seller says the thing ran well last summer.  Nobody messed with EFI which would 
be the big no-no for Djet.  Leaving MAP and the intake temp sensor as possible 
failure points.  Those can impact running, but not as much as garbage fuel does.

Looks like a decent project car that runs for a fair price.  There could be 
many more troubles that want addressing, not disclosed.  Not a fan of blue on 
blue.  On a sunny day up north it would be a great top down joy ride

I already ran away. 
When I think about it, I feel that the only project I would ever take on would 
be a late 60s early 70s 200D or 220D Manual transmission, something like unto 
my first MB.

FI trigger points are different than ignition points.  Weren't readily 
available 15 years ago when I needed a set .

They go in the lower part of the dizzy and operate the fuel injection nozzles.  

Might get some through the Classic Center, but I'd bet they'd be $500 or more.

Biggest problem with D-Jet is worn distributot and oil on the trigger points, 
which are no longer available.  Bad trigger points equals no injection.

Vacuum leaks are a huge issue as well, some easy to fix and some not so easy.
