OT-Need info on 3000gt

Funny, my dad's '94 3000GT base model has had the timing belt break, which resulted in engine damage and a new engine being put in, as well as a tranny replacement. In addition, there's numerous other smaller problems, minor mechanical and appearance stuff (fading black plastic, the one where it says "twin turbo" on the VR-4, as well as nasty bubbles in the vinyl-like material that covers the inside of the doors). But that's just my personal experience.

The engines are interference design so it sucks when you break a timing belt, but thats the risk you take when you don't change it at the scheduled time or skip out on replacing the tensioner. I don't see how it would warrant a tranny replacement though. All cars have their quirks but on a whole they are good cars.
