cambelts due at 90k 6 years, theyreactually pretty nippy, they weigh roughly the same as a zr, and still have the good suspension on it, look at the colour of the header tank when buying it, the coolant should be red and clean as well as the bottle, if its not its a sign the heats on its way, also look at the oil for any signs of imulsification, check the heater blowers working on position 1 and 2 as well, if its not you can start to haggle him down a bit, 2k is cheap, espiecially for a 05 plate car, if the head on its way out you can knock a lot off it, like £600 tops, the job itself done properly would cost about £400 £500 done properly, check the seat bolsters for rips as well
