What do they mean by "just needs a new timing belt"? If the belt broke there could be engine damage. Price a new belt and deduct for that if the car is running.

I am always wary of ads that say "just needs this one little thing". If that were true they would fix the "one little thing" and ask full price. ;)

I kind of thought the same thing too honestly, but wow I was not expecting to hear there could be engine damage!
