Had the same issue with the car I bought, 2000 S with 83k miles for $8500. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Everyone on the forum talks about buying the best car you can afford, with all the issues fixed, etc. If you are not mechanically inclined thats what I would suggest. However on my end I'd rather buy a car that doesn't have things done and do them myself to know they were done right and up to my standards.
One thing to point out though, depending on the code it could need more than a MAF.
Also, your car should have the earlier MAF. My previous owner replaced the MAF with a cheap aftermarket from the later mid 2000+ cars and it kept throwing codes. Your MAF should have the flat bottom on it. The correct Bosch MAF for my car (and yours) ran $180 through Amazon.
And, looks like the driver side top velcro came disconnected from the support rail, as I can see the top cable on the one pic above. Easy fix as long as the velcro is still there and attached to the top.
