I let the replacement of the timing belt go a bit too long, 125,000 miles. Actually I thought it was replaced just before I got the car since it had been at the dealer at 60,000 miles, but it wasn't. An expensive replacement when it broke and crashed all the valves into the pistons. It needed a rebuilt head that came to $2400 with other misc parts a an independent shop. It would have been $3500 at the dealer.

Moral: Do it now!!!! Don't let it slip. I just wish I had known.
