Once upon a time, a considered buying a car with a 12-cyl Wasserboxer from a fellow Listmember. Killed the deal when I was told the timing belt would need to be replaced along with a major tune-up. Estimate was $30K which was only $8K shy of the price for the whole car at the time.

That's no April Fool Joke.
