Cambelt and water pump is important so it should be fine even with those miles, what money is he asking for it.

1000 I bought it it runs smooth only problem is when boost goes over 1 bar u can hear it leaking out the dump valve it's a atmospheric valve but got told if I put a recerculation dump valve on it will be fine
