I could not find a picture, but the Confort is probably very similar to
other Sonata models of the world. You can find some information and photo
of the US version at www.kbb.com The price seems to be in line with US
models also.

Timing belt and camshaft drive belt are the same thing and should be
replaced at 100,000 Km. Perhaps there are some used car sites in Europe
that would have more information that what I can provide.

I've looked at a Dutch used car ad selecting website
http://www.autotelegraaf.nl/ there are some Sonata's for sale. Have a look.
The prices are in ?.

Many of the ads show 2.0L engines. I wasn't able to find any pertinent
cars with engine pictures to see which 2.0 was being used. Some of the
2.0L engines had timing belt troubles as well.

Thanks a lot for all your remarks !!!!
