Used eclipse

I'm getting a new car, or used I should say and I want to get an eclipse. Right now I'm looking for a 98 or 99 eclipse GST with around 75000 miles on it. I only have about 10500 to spend so I'm kind of limited on my choices. When getting an eclipse with 75000 miles or so on it, will there be any specific things I need to look for that could go wrong? Anything I would need to replace? Are eclipses fairly reliable through 100000 miles? I would just like some information on whether or not this is a good used car to purchase. Thanks

At that mileage the car should have already had the timing belt changed. Ask to see documentation The leading cause of death for high mileage 2Gs is broken timing belts, not crankwalk But it makes for a steady suplly of cheap heads after the owner gives up and sells or parts the car out.
