Is it a front-wheel drive? If it is, that makes replacing the water pump and timing belt infinitely more difficult.
That kind of job is always pricey, but I would suggest looking around a bit first. I don't remember ever charging over a grand even on the most horrible little Japanese cars for that kind of job.Price to change timing belt and water pump?wow that's alot. It is a tough job. the parts cost about 100-200 but it's all labor. 1100 though is a lot. it depends what year it is. I would pay that for an -05-08 but any earlier I'd llook around
