From the map it looks like it is one of the lots where a lot of pick a part places used to be.. Those places are being sold and redeveloped.. so I guess the place in question just want to do a quick sell. Quote:

If the timing belt breaks, you're looking at bent valves and possible cylinder damage, ie engine overhaul.
When I got my 2nd 944, which was garage kept with 73k km, I didn't know the timing belt history so I had it done. My mechanic opened it up and found the balance belt sitting in a pile at the bottom, and the teeth were beginning to peel off the timing belt.
It was literally a ticking time bomb. I got so damn lucky, had I waited any longer my aesthetically perfect 944 would have been a big paperweight.

I know my mom had a Loyale station wagon from the mid-'80s to the early-'90s and she said it wasn't very reliable when I asked her what happened to it (traded it in for a Mazda MPV, which was probably more unreliable; brakes and transmissions failing everywhere). I don't really remember much about it because I was pretty young at the time.

Just depends on what the plans are with the car and how much you can figure out yourself.

| >>>>>>>>2002 civic honda SiR<<<<<<< 
Went to check out this SiR EP3 as a daily for the gf. $3400firm for a solid daily or winter beater. Something things I found were:
- 3rd owner claims to have no decs or accidents
- Passenger door and rear quarter was has orange peel and overspray
- Front bumper is original with matching VIN but badly sprayed
- Rear bumper is pierced(penny size) and scratched
- Rust hole in spare tire well
- Rusty sunroof window frame
- Front shocks are done
- AC needs recharge
- Roof rack quick release might be drilled onto the roof
- Worn driver seat, steering wheel, shift knob
- Good life in the clutch
- Good torque going uphill on Main from Marine
I had to pass due to the rust hole in spare tire well.
