Hi,
+I intend to buy a 1997 Nissan Altima, GXE 119,000 miles for 3000 USD.
This car looks good but when I brought it to an automechanic, he told
me that there is a noise in timing chain. He just took a glance and
heard the sound from the engine.
He seemed very hurry at that time. I am wondering if that timing chain
makes noise is normal for a used car after 119,000 miles. What If I
don't change it and still drive it for a while in local road?

+please tell me where in the car I can read the VIN?

+ I want to see if the airbag and ABS are functioning. I hear we can
see the lights in the car, do you know where they are ?

+finally, this car once was used a a rental vehicle. Is it a problem? I
heard that it is oki since rental company maintained very well their
car.

Thanks
