Looks good todd, the replacements he suggest (timing belt, motormounts,
etc..) are what we had to do. It made a big difference when we finished with
all the recomended maitenance ($2,500 later). But we also got our's for 4000
les than LOW kelly blue book value. I must say I have never owned a vehicle
with PWR windows/locks, cruise, etc...  and I love them. The Eurovan is a
1st class vehicle IMHO. Could use more soundproffing though, I plan to work
on that someday.
