What kinda condition is it in?

And, if fixing the timing issue was as simple as turning the distributor, wouldn't he have done that already?

If you can test drive it...try loosening the distributor hold down bolt and turning the distributor counter-clockwise while the car is idling. If the idle improves, you'll know that the timing just needs adjusted.
