   Date: Sun, 3 Mar 1996 14:20:24 -0500

For any of you who are getting ready for the 60,000 miler, I thought I would
share the costs I recently had in NC/SC:
- Replace timing belt - labor: 132.39; belt: 41.60; head gasket: 24.96
- Replace cam and crank seals - labor: 50.00; oil seal: 5.93; oil seal 7.02
- Replace drive belts - v-belt: 19.50; belt 'V': 29.95 (no labor)
- Clean air filter:  25.00
- Replace fuel filter: labor: 25.00; fuel filter 37.44
- Replace engine coolant - 25.00; antifreeze - 9.31
- Check a/c for proper operation - labor 50.00; freon 12.48
- Customer pay haz. waste for repair order - 18.44
Total labor: 307.39; total parts 207.69; Misc. charges 18.44, tax: 10.38
TOTAL: $543.90
For those of you who know how to work on your own cars, I know you feel good
now. For those of you who depend on a dealer, save up your spare $ for this
big one!
