The timing belt broke while my wife was driving the wagon years ago. Had just bought the car with 199,000 miles and was planning to get it replaced. Of course, it broke while she was driving and I was out of town. Towed to shop, no damage to engine. Replaced belt, water pump and other obvious things. I think it cost me $350 way back then but remember that was lots of other parts too. Had it replaced again at 250k and no problems since then. Getting ready to hit 300k later this year so will be doing another timing belt then. I believe my mechanic spends 1 1/2 hours but does other things at the same time too.
