Welcome to HAF

Only thing I would be concerned about on the car is the timing belt. Do you know if/when it has been changed?

Thanks for joining

Just know that the timing belt should be changed every 100K miles or 7 years. Can you contact the past owner and ask?

On these engines, if the belt breaks while driving.......pistons and valves come together, a bad thing. Usually it will bend a valve - or more. That will mean having to pull the head and have it worked/rebuilt.
