Post Body

Hi all -

Still in the market for a new fun daily, can't really find an R53 that fits the bill. There seem to be plenty of R56s though. I'm half tempted to pick up an R56 and drive it to a shop to preemptively handle the timing chain before it becomes an actual problem. Or maybe buy one with a bad timing chain and have the shop fix it up. It seems like that's the only major Achilles heel with the R56, the rest of the common issues don't scare me.

So, what's a reasonable price for an independent shop to do the chain? I'm in the USA, Seattle metro area.
