at 106k now, put about 500 miles on it since I purchased. I had just assumed he was being honest, but it'd be nice to be sure...

i knew my belt needed to be done when you could see it had cracks in it.

A cracked, dry timing belt is obviously past its prime, but most belts still look OK when replaced. If you pop the cover, check the belt, and decided to run with a belt of unknown vintage, you are asking for trouble. These belts are not that hard or expensive to change.

....roller, tensioner, and front engine seals. My mileage is 119K miles. I didn't see the old belt, but I would have had it replaced no matter what the old one looked like. I don't know how old it was - no records from the PO.
BTW, I also had them R&R the front control arm bushings and the right side front axle, and flush the brake system. The total at the indy eurocar shop was $1428. This was my first major preventative maintenance in the three years I have owned the car, and nothing has "broken" in that time either.

about it being new and it breaks, then your screwed.
