New guy here. I'm seriously considering buying this 2008 Maxima. I've already went and drove it. No problems I can tell other than it needs alignment work, but my question is at this mileage with these cars, are there any problems to watch out for? The salesman said he thinks the timing belt will have to be replaced fairly soon because of the mileage. Thanks for any info.

Maxima uses timing chain, not timing belt. The car was a rental so it would be better if you can have it inspected at a shop or AAA
