1000 to fix the timing belt?
Maybe if it goes out, but usually any mechanic will change out the timing belt and water pump (which should be replaced also) for $300 or less... or you can attempt to do it yourself... is not too teribly hard if you have the tools at your disposal, and then it only costs you the price of the belt and the pump.
Now if you didn't replace the timing belt and it did break, then that would be a little expensive to fix, yeah.
As far as the advantages and disadvantages.... I see no disadvantages, and have been nothing but happy with mine!
There are almost an unlimited number of ways you can customize them. They're very stylish. Already pretty quick, and can be made DAMN FAST with the right mods...
