the belt is due every 3 yrs or 60k kms - which ever is first...

cost around $2k - please stick to dealers or specialists..

the water pump should be changed if you don't know for sure that it's been done...

u may also wish to consider a q2 diff at some point as the v6 diff is a known weak point...

as always - worth taking it to a specialist to perform and inspection on it - best ~$100 u'll ever spend..

apart from that w/ low k's should be a good 'un.
