I'd think you could find a good independent mechanic local to
the car to have the t-belt changed, then drive it home. Kill

As for the travertine interior, strip it out, dye the leather black,
spray paint the plastic bits black, and you are good to go with a
"brand new" interior. Replace the seat heaters while you have the
