Timing chains don't really need maintence, belts however, thats a completely different story. Granted, I have heard of a few occasions of engines with timing chains jumping time, but typically for that to happen something tramatic has to happen, like a major over-rev from a missed shift.
My dad is still driving a 2000 Taurus with over 500k on the odometer and not one bit of problems from the motor, amazingly enough. He's got another car, he just wants to see how long he can drive it before it requires major maintence. Most expensive bill so far was $700 for new tires. Drives it to work pretty much everyday.
Things probably going to rust apart before it breaks down, but with him living in Texas, I dunno.
