Aero takes its first ride on a flat bed.

2001 Aero ~ 70,000 miles. Apparently one of the tensioners failed. Serpentine belt started shredding. One of the pieces cut the lines to the oil cooler. Belt fails completely, power steering goes away, car overheats and I park it.
9-5 gets its first ride to the dealer (indies are fine, but dealer was closest, and I didn't want to mess around with it...even if it costs me more).
Total work needed...belt, oil cooler hoses, tensioner, pulley, and because it overheated, the dealer recommended a new thermostat. Also, clean and degrease engine bay, plus replace missing fluids.
Estimate - $700 plus $55 towing.
PS. While riding in the flat bed I asked the driver what makes of cars he carried most. In no particular order he said Saab, BMW and VW.
