Whether the PO has changed the belts on time is not a reason to not buy the car. As long as they have not yet broken, which would be rather obvious, there will be no negative effect to the engine's longevity. It's not that big of a deal to get it done. Just subtract the cost to do so from the price you are willing to pay. In fact, on any engine I would consider buying with a timing belt, if there is no positive proof the belt was changed and exactly what mileage and when, I would just do so as a matter of course... > The inline 4 is more robust True, and more economical to operate. > and can be performance tuned if you are interested.
