    Not always, there is multiple types, some are cheap and some are expensive
    Last expensive one I did was over 1000 just for the parts from Subaru and they had the best price

    As to the op
    Budget $800-$1500

    You're talking hundreds of thousands of ks. I won't have the car that long. And you are welcome to your belt drives which as you will already know in some brands, when they break they cause major engine damage. Would rather put up with a slighly noisy chain. My model of Sub is now chain driven, why would Subaru have done that - a system that would seemingly be more expensive over a belt driven system?
