Matt,
Do some inspections yourself... Read

and then have a look at your tensioner and top chain guide. Buy all the
timing components now if you can, even if you don't really need them.
They wont be around much longer. Take a deep breath when you ask "how
much".
I just bought a timing set, top and bottom guides, sprockets X 4, top
and bottom tensioners. It cost me about $700.00AU.
Good luck.

Subject: Newbie needing help! Cost for Timing Chain Replacement on 2L
I am currently looking at a 2000 Roadster and the owner is not sure if
the Timing Chain has ever been replaced. If I buy this car, should I
replace the Timing Chain ASAP, try to inspect the chain or wait for the
infamous "Buzzing".
Also, how much is it for the parts to replace the Timing Chain?
Last, where is a good place to buy a new soft top in the south-east
area.
Thanks,
Matt Byrd
