my timing belt snapped at 130k, granted, it only broke because the waterpump siezed, then destroyed the fan, luckily, it missed the radiator, only cost 800 bucks...

edit: oh yeah forgot, within a week of getting it, the valve cover seal leaked oil onto one of the ignition coils, fried it, then it went back the line and friend the ECU, thousand bucks real fast.
