Seller sounds like a tight wad wally, spends time and money replacing the clutch and doesn't do the bearing at the same time. It is also a good idea to overhaul the clutch slave cylinder while the box is out. The 200T is a waste of time, as the 230TE uses the same amount of fuel and has more power.

The 200T was 10% cheaper than the 230TE.

I have to admit it looks pretty from the pictures.  I've never worked
on a manual before, is there a way to verify his claim about the throw
out bearing?
With the engine running, press on the clutch and put the transmission in
gear. Throw-out bearing will be under load and could make noise if
failing. You should hear no noise in addition to the engine.
