I bought a 2000 S about a month ago. It doesn't have a timing belt. Instead the motor is full of chains. My car has 100k miles and it's a little tired cosmetically but it ran perfectly on the test drive. Only cost $12k US $. No issues with the idle or any other function except the windshield washer didn't work (easy fix to resecure the rubber hose).

You have maximum leverage as a potential buyer. I wouldn't buy the car until everything is working the way it's supposed to. Otherwise knock a big chunk off the offering price because you really don't know how much the fix is going to cost.
