95 900S Engine Vibration

I ran across a straight, clean 95 900S with 200k on a cheapo used car lot. Everything works well...Except it has a strong engine vibration at idle in gear (D and R, lesser in N, none in P - idles at 1000rpm). On accel and at speed vibration goes away completely but returns again when coming to a stop and idle will surge/hunt but doesn't threaten to stall. Motor mounts don't act weak/broken based on engine movement when shifting, and no clunking/clicking is heard. Auto trans shifts well and sport mode works normally, but it seems to be slightly underpowered/doggy on accel. No trouble lights indicate any problems, oil is dark but not black (due to be changed in 2k according to sticker, trans fluid and coolant like new, exhaust is clean. Thoughts? Suspicions? I hate to spend an afternoon and $150 to have it checked out if it is likely to be a costly engine repair.
