<prompt> Human: After a long break, Im finally returning to school 2015. I have 3500 budget to purchase a used car, and Im hoping Ill have some money left over to replace timing belttires etc. I have 2001 Volkswagen Beetles priced at 2800 negotiable, under 110k, to see tonight. From carfax report, I know that shehe is a second owner with loan or lien and has never replaced tirestiming belt and brakes are at least 5 years old. Is there anything I should be looking out for rather than listening to engine sound, checking engine oil, suspension, and tires? What kind of questions should I be asking the seller to ensure that the car is not placed on lien?  <response>: After you look for rust, have a mechanic put it on a lift and look for more rust.
