Got the report on Susan's 850 with the broken timing belt.
The water pump seized and broke the belt.
There IS engine damage.
Mechanic can fix it for about $2000, which would leave her with an engine with 238,00 miles on it.
He has found an engine with 90,000 miles on it which he can get and install for about $2600.
We paid $1500 for the car in 2006.

What is the group's consensus?
Anybody got a car that is reasonably reliable for sale in central US?
