Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Should a person purchase a 2008 at 120000 if timing belt hasn't been
changed?  Can it run another 50000 without changing if it runs smooth?

Change it. If the belt goes, it can cause a lot of damage that could have been avoided. Much cheaper to prevent the damage, rather then spend money fixing it. Plus, you could do it yourself. Just do the water pump and accessory belts while you're in there.

  • My Solara turns over but will not start. Changed timing belt and water pump 6 months ago. Just replaced fuel relay, fuel pump and fuel filter. Could it be the timing belt again or something else? 1 Answer

    Sounds the same, when turning over, as it did when the timing belt went out 6 months ago. About to change the spark plugs. Could it be the crankshaft sensor?
