just a hair over 93,000. I've never heard about replacing them at 200k, thought it was a 100k item. Also, I mis-spoke. It doesn't include a chain replacement, obviously at that price. They just make sure it's timed "correctly".
Timing chain will need to be replaced soon, and I got an estimate from Aamco for it... not too pleased with the price.

NOOOO the chain does not need to be replaced. I am at 111k and its never been done yet and the car runs perfect, trust me its a waste of money to change it now, the motor is harldy even broken in yet, these car last well into 200k+ on stock chains and engine and trans, they were built that way.

news to me, you prob know more about it than I do so I'd be glad to wait to 200k to change it. Would save me $700+ in parts and labor.
So changing the plugs isn't that difficult? I've read about "rocking" the engine forward and have scoped out the engine bay at the rear plugs look hard to get to. Obv would like to do this myself/save $$$$$ and have changed plugs before, just not on this car....

the fronts are easy, just pop the boot off and chagne plugs.
the back are just in a tigher space, if you have skinny arms like me, i can reach them fine, same basic process, just have to take your time, if you have a spark plug puller tool it works great on the plugs, the only hard one is the one right next to the rear o2 sensor, should take you about an hour or so to do.

yea, fronts wouldn't be a prob as they're right there. Rear might be an issue for me since i'm taller and bigger than most. arms def aren't skinny.
