At 155K, it may be ready for another timing belt.  The factory says (I
think)
90K mile intervals. The paranoid say 60K.  If it's only had one belt change,
and you are paranoid, it is long overdue.

At that age/mileage, lots of things can go wrong, depending on maintenance.

How much do you not want to spend? :-)
