well I don't want to be a wet blanket but you got a fair price.

Buying second hand shocks is a no go. Sway bar ok. I'm sure that part is worth at least fiddy. The shocks at 40K miles might not be a good idea given the labor time and cost if you are paying. I had a set of brand new Tokico adjustables and had one of the shocks fail on me in just a few weeks. Luckily I was very tight with the mech. so he put in the new shock for free. Changing rear shocks and coils is lots of time. If you are going to do it get new parts with a guarantee. Nothing can transform a car like a fresh suspension. Like driving a totally different car.
In my last car It took several attempts to get it right trying different brands and coils/shock mounts but when I got it JUST right I cried like a baby when I handed over the keys to the new owner.
