thanks.. i tried to find a used motor but no luck the only one i could find the junk yard wanted 1,200.00 for it that's why i was wondering if there was any other motor that would fit . i wish i would have known about the timing belt problem with this car and i would have changed it when i bought it. i didnt get an owners manual with it. when i got online to search for the timing marks is when i found out that it should be checked every 30,000 miles. i have only put a few thousand on it since i owned it. but i guess i learned something from this never buy a car before doing research on it first.
