Alrighty, so today I went and looked at a nice black 2002 Dodge Intrepid. The price had been reduced to $1100, and the owner was willing to take $800. It looked really nice, no scratches or dents.
Now on to the $800 side.
It has a 2.7L V6 with a bad timing belt. Estimated cost to fix is $400-$500 if its all nice and good.
BUT, a couple things i have heard about timing belts, sometimes they come clean and all you need to replace is the belt and the water pump. Or you have burnt valves and metal shards n crap in the cylenders.
Is the 2.7L known for having any weird crap with the timing belt or can I slap one on(i make it sound simple lol, it isn't) and be fine?
