The former owner of my '90 V8Q had something associated with the timing belt
fail at 73K miles with a timing belt replacement recommendation at 75K
miles.  The receipt he gave me has a notation of 50/50 warrentee with the
customer paying about $1500.  This car was clearly out of warrentee but AoA
appearently picked up half the tab for replacing 16 intake valves, etc.

Good luck,
