Afaik the V6s have issues, that's why I'm looking at 4 cylinders because otherwise I'd have to get a manual. I'm not opposed to that obviously but I need something the wife can drive if she needs to.

You can even get a discount on the alt too since that belt goes with the package.
The belts + pump ran me around $800. They had the car for a good half day. The alt was around $350 installed.
Thanks.
I'd really probably just need to buy the parts. I know enough people that owe me favors that I'd not have to touch a wrench.
