Of course you're crazy. We all are.

The peculiarities of the '99-up cars include an electonic throttle module ($$$$)(drive-by-wire, there is no throttle cable) http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/index.htm?id=747962 and the timing belt is supposed to be changed at 105k mi., along with it's mechanical tensioner. If you can't get the stamped logbook and service history, at least look to see that the filters (air and cabin) aren't completely filthy, and that the oil is clean. Otherwise, it's pretty much the same set of problems that the 850 and 70 Series have been having since 1992.
