I'm finally back in a LS. Question about maintenance.
After selling my LS a couple years back, I'm finally back. Picked up a 98 LS400 w/126k. Got a quote from a friend's friend who works at a dealership for the timing belt package with 120k service w/plugs, etc. $1,300 for the service. What are your thoughts on the price?

Yeah, not a bad price. Would replace the water pump while it's apart too. Just a thought.

Sounds like this is comparable to what I'm planning on getting done. I'll double check.
