Answer 1

It would be better to call some of your local shops to find that out....

This should answer some of your questions. I think this model has an interference engine. which means if your timing belt breaks the pistons could hit any valves that are open when belt breaks, this would be ten time worse expense wise over changing belt at recommended miles.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

It's got to be under $700 bucks.
