As someone already mentioned, be *SURE* the timing belt has been
changed. This is an absolute must. If it breaks without being
changed, you will likely damage the engine and it will not be covered
by warranty. You might be able to get a printout of what repairs have
been done to the car from the dealer. I would want the timing belt
thing in writing.
