Did you try and collect from the maker of the belt that failed?
If not....well, you've probably paid more for these two repairs, including the time and hassle, that the car is worth! Not to mention this last failure could have done damage that will shorten the engine life.
Junking the car after this timing belt failure would seem to make more sense...
I agree. What ever happens, try to have a trade-off and get rid of this car in favor of one that isn't sludge + nor has had a timing belt fail during operation.
