Subject: 3.0 V6 broken timing belt, advice?



The timing belt on my father's '96 9000 CDE 3.0 V6 broke last
weekend at 98k km.

The local Saab dealer just had a first look at the engine and confirmed
the belt had failed.  They're estimating 4-5hrs of investigation to
determine
the full extent of the damage to the engine - big $$  Is it a bad idea
to have the
engine parts replaced piecewise, or is a used engine (with new belts)
the way to go?

Any V6 owners have a similar timing belt experience recently?

I'm loving the chain in my '88 900 right now.  Does the new 9-5 V6
still us a belt?
