    When was the belt changed?

    For €900 you have to be realistic though. You're not really gonna get a perfect car that won't ever give any trouble.

    Depends. If the car wasn't maintained with regular oil changes, it mightn't last 60,000 miles.
    It's all down to how it was maintained. In theory it can last for hundreds of thousands of miles.

    The 00 is a better car IMO.
