+1 The car looks just like mine, only better! If you haven't already heard, there is a bearing responsible for keeping the timing chains in place, and very similar to an older Honda timing belt, it needs to be changed occasionally or it can fail, and when it does it is usually time for a new engine. Low mileage cars that sit for years are especially vulnerable to this bearing failing. If it were me, I'd research the dreaded IMS bearing to make an informed decision on how to handle it.
