I replaced the timing belt on my 2001 Chrysler 300M at 100k. It is highly recommended at that point.

Meanwhile we have 126k on it and I haven't even replaced the plugs.

But I have had three brake jobs, which may not be unusual considering the very hilly terrain and stop and go driving.

I think new shocks would make it feel like a new car. It still looks like one.

That's right - NEVER neglect changing a timing belt....

I had to fork over the dough for that on my Camry. Fortunately the Taurus uses a timing chain. Not only that, but it doesn't even have tensioners or guides to go bad. :)
