That's a pretty decent price for it. Also clean up your MAF with some MAF cleaner, and the contacts on the connector. And also check for any vacuum leaks, some of those rubber elbows are probably shot by now.

They can be cleaned if they do not move freely and can work well after that.
Also it is possible to substitute a part from an Audi, BMW or Saab or the like. The main difference seems to be the nipple configuration. I suggest trying one for a Saab 900, Audi 4000, etc. One of my cars even had an IAC from an E30 BMW on it, worked fine despite having the different inlet/outlet arrangement.
Note: I am not a pro and don't blame me if your car burns up, but I suggest substituting a cheaper part.

The part is not that hard to change. I recommend getting an alternative part from the breakers, cleaning it good, and swapping it in. You can test them with a 9v battery in short bursts. It's a robust part but subject to a lot of grunge. A proper cleaning will probably put you on the road for years.
The 928 method is to squirt a bunch of cleaning fluid into these things without removing them. They are harder to get to on the 928. This also works but it is more temporary. In the case of the 968 I think you could clean it this way with acceptable results, with a good long soak. Carb cleaner followed by seafoam or the like. the hose is easy to get to.
