Re: I'm told I want $50,000 and I need to pay $500 and...
No--of course not
why would any body tell you that you need so much money then have to pay to get it
Just another scam to catch people who want something for nothing

You can buy an inexpensive OBD2 scanner off ebay that allows you to check and reset engine lights. You can get either USB ones that you plug into a laptop or you can get handheld ones. The usb ones start about $10 and the handheld about $40
It's very possible it could be leaking and need replacing. $500 is too much to pay for this repair. I would get a second opinion and another cost estimate.
Beware. Many of these repair shops make most of there money by scamming
people and doing this type of work when it is not necessary.Auto manufacturers design new vehicles to last a many times longer without any type of service.I do recommend getting a full service at around 100,000 miles.Timing belt,plugs ect.You should change your air filter every 30 to 35,000 miles.
Timing belts are best left to the experts. You can expect to pay in area of $500 - $600 or more. It is common when belts break to bend a valve in the process, if this happens, expect to pay several hundred more.
Yes this is a common problem but not just Buicks Centurys but most G.M.cars and trucks and a few other makes and models.No recalls that I have seen.Can be about 200.00 or so plus labor depending on the labor rate and what part of the country your in.Prices could vary.Hope this helps.Good luck.
4...... who told you it needed all 4. You have a S500!!!!. Pay someone who is qualified to work on MB to fix it. these cars are not for DIY Backyard Bob.
$400 to $500 dollars... and the replacement interval is not 50,000 miles.. it's 60,000 (by the way, the reason the belt should be replaced is the fact IT'S GOING TO BREAK.... no doubts!).
