I am suddenly seriously under the gun to obtain an ALH this weekend. My executive other has been without a car for a few years now, driving mine some, but is mostly stuck at home. She's done. And she wants one like mine (or a Golf or Wagon but...)
I'm looking at this

Assuming timing belt failure as the explanation for the "new top end"
Normally I would wait, and be able to spend more and for something less questionable but....these are not normal times
What are the chances this beauty is a ticking time bomb?
Could it have really gone 10k miles and still be waiting to detonate?
I'm ashamed to say I've been reading this site for 11 years but now my brain is locking up!
How would you approach this anyone?
