2000 Neon

hey guys, im just curious about how reliable the 2nd gen neon really is, i may very well buy one for my first car, problem is it will most likely have about 200k on it by the time i get it, its in decent condition, the idle sounds a little off and theres some rust on the hood but otherwise it seems fine, the timing belt has also been recently changed, what do you guys think? would this car be a sound investment or a nightmarish purchase? any help would be greatly be appreciated! thanks!
