records  What maintaince   should  have been done  Should the timng belt have
been changed for the second time?  Just waht common things  should  I look for
or ask about to be consider  a educated buyer

Answer
Edgar,
Timing belt should be done every 70K. Also do the water pump and both belt tensioner pullys. Radiators crack. Front end components wear out, brakes, A/C compressors and evaporators, heater core, shift lock switch and solenoid, electrical portion of the ignition, t/stat, power window switch pack, under hood vacuum lines, speedo stops recording miles driven, tune ups every 30K.
