Ditto! We're glad you're here.
Good advice in this thread. Just say no to any sort of magic mod like a chip or computer. If it's electronic and will do anything of value, expect to pay upwards of $400 for it (ie; MSnS).
At 67k, you're 7k past the timing belt replacement interval. If you can, give the seller a call and see if the timing belt was replaced yet. If so, you're golden. If not, forget the brake job and get right into a new timing belt for that bad boy. These cars have interference engines, so when the tbelt goes, pistons beat the valves to shit and the engine will need a complete rebuild. $$$! You can save a grip of money by doing it yourself and there is plenty of help here if you need it.
Otherwise, read through the Power Stages in the wiki and see what questions you have after that. We'll shoot you straight.
