Changing the timing belt is not cheap, although the newer ones may have a timing chain. (which probably lasts longer, but I bet is more expensive to change.)

Waiting for a call back from the local dealership. Located a Synergy Green Camaro out of state hoping the local dealer can pull a transfer/trade on the vehicle.

Were going to go with a Mustang but the fattest, nastiest she-male bitch in town owns one and I just couldn't bring myself to it. :D

I'd totally go with the Acura over the bankrupted company (thanks UAW) made Chevy. Or considering winter, if you don't like driving in snow, look at a Subaru.

My mom had two subarus and they were both great cars and great in snow. They were both leases so she did not keep them long enough to know how reliable they were when they had a lot of miles on them, but they were trouble free for the time she had them.

Is it an inspection, or scheduled maintenance?

its a preventative maintenance kinda thing...they check all fans, belts, and filters (among other things) and replace any that are worn...a lot of people recommend switching out spark plugs around 60k miles too on luxury cars like bmw/acura/lexus

'

My bro' has a subaru Forester. Loves it, by far his favorite vehicle he's ever owned.
Probably the best vehicle available for somebody who's on call for work and likes to do road trips during the winter.

(edit)
He's had it new for close to three years, no problems.....knock on wood.
