Default Buying a non-running Millenia-advice?

There is a 2002 Millenia 2.5L at Pontiac Auto Auction. It is listed as non-running, possible timing belt issue. Car looks really clean, 144K miles.
Car did not bring a single bid, starting at $100. I think because of age and people not knowing that Millenia were the flagship Mazda at that time. I've always thought they were kinda cool.
I can make the repairs myself, realizing that the car is not worth a lot, even running and driving.
Asking for advice, good and bad. Is a can or worms, or worth saving?

I know this is an old thread, but this site has helped me tremendously with my 99' Millie. Just thought if it could be of use to anyone, I would share it.
This is the link for the Service Manuals. They include diagrams and diagnostic and repair specs.
Enjoy and share. It is totally free.
