    OP listen to this advice. I've replaced two cylinder heads on Aveo's due to timing belt issues. IIRC in the manual it calls for a timing belt every 30k miles.
    Even on that note I'd pick it up for $500. It'd be easy to flip if you hated it.

        No worse and probably better than anything else in that price range.
        I'd have rocked it. 35 mpg car for $500 plus some work and junkyard parts?
        Do it. Even as nothing but a parts chaser.
