You, the SC, did not have your shiny new $6000 car inspected before purchasing it from a "reputable" used car dealership.
Your timing belt snaps a month after you purchase the vehicle, and you have the type of car that if the timing belt goes, it can ruin the whole engine, but there's no way to test the engine until the timing belt is replaced.
Dealership tells you to pound sand, they have no money and it's not their problem because we are an as is state.
You have it towed to me and ask me to replace the timing belt in the hope that the timing belt did not crater the engine.
You were warned that either way, this is a $1000 job, and more than likely it will not fix the car and you will still need an engine.
We replace the timing belt, the engine was indeed blown, and you don't think you should have to pay us for the timing belt replacement why?
I do have some sympathy, it's a sucky situation (which could have been avoided had you paid the $75 pre-purchase fee), but we did the work, we deserve to be paid.
I'll keep you posted on how this one turns out.
