Vehicle Detail
The timing belt failed and I suspect that the cylinder head needs to be re-built or replaced. While it was still running this car consistantly got 48 MPG. The interior is tan leather. There is 6 Cd changer in the trunk. The condition of the car is what you might expect for a car with 190,000 miles. The front right fender has a small spot of rust. There is a torn seam in the passenger side rear seat. Aside from the timing belt the car is in good condition mechanically. There is also a 1200 watt electric engine heater, which makes a big difference for starting the car when the temperature is below 10 degrees. A remanufactured head will cost between $500 and $750, plus in the installation. I had planned on making the repair myself, but will not have the time to do it until this spring and I do not want the car to sit for such a long time.
