Good deal or ripoff? Options

[DT62]

I just bought a Celi for 2500. Its stock, in excellent condition on the interior, a small bit of peeling of the gloss coat (on the hood) on the paint. It's a '94 fastback with 114k mi. It needs a new timing belt (it's never been replaced, so until I have the money to replace it, it's undrivable.), and there's a leak on the crankseal. I'm thinking I got lucky. Did I?

Actually it's not a hatchback. I called it a fastback because thats what I had to check for the profile of my car, its got an extended back end. That and the auto trans are the only things about the car a really don't like, since they're permanent and can't be changed (well, I really wouldn't want to mess with a transmission conversion). I can drive the car, but I don't want to risk screwing up my valves by having the belt break while I'm on the road. So I choose not to drive it, rather than it being undrivable. But between having the tag and title transfered, taxes and repairs, it adds up to a high price for a High School student.

I live in Lake County, about 30 mi North of Orlando.

The car is black, with gold factory rims, and a gold pinstripe down the sides. I may be able to post a few pics tommorrow if anyone wants.
