Default E36 - "Excessive" play in steering

Hello All,
I spent the better part of yesterday looking over a 93 325IS that a
friend is considering purchasing.
The only real issue I found with it was "excessive" steering wheel play.
We could move the wheel almost a full inch with no change in the orientation
of the tires.
The car has just over 110k miles on the clock. The owner showed us
receipts to back up his claim of around $800.00 in front end work about 4
months ago. (New control arms with new ball joints, tie rods, control arm
bushings, alignment, etc)
I have not faced this issue so severely on any of my E36s. Any input on
what could be the cause (and possible fixes) would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!
Wayne K.
