Don't even start it to load it onto the tow truck. It takes less than half a second for the engine to destroy itself if the timing belt/tensioner fails. At 120k miles you're due for replacing the timing belt and tensioner anyway. Maybe the previous owner only had the belt done at 60k miles and neglected to replace the tensioner. Here's what the belt looks like if the tensioner fails.
