no way. if the timing belt is 60k miles overdue, then i would bet that every maintenance item is overdue as well. add a little more money and get one with lower miles.

Nah, i think you can do better than that.. especially if you want to mod it right and have a nice sedan for the kids...

Don't be trading the Boosted GS either.. LOL..

If I were you NO!,cause it has alot of miles on it and also the timing belt. You will most likely run into a lot of problems with it. I suggest you wait and keep on looking, trust me you will find the right Ls if you just wait and look around. Go on auto trader and look on there thats how i found my beauty.
