Exclamation Quick question.

Recently bought a 01 lexus is300 120k miles It drives smooth and Idles silent with no vibrations. Now question is should I get the timing belt replaced since I am at the 100k mark. the owner bought it at 80k.

did he change it out? if so, i would ask for papers claiming so...

i recently bought mine with 180k miles...
even though the previous owner said he replaced it around 120k, i still opted out to change mine...
reason: for the peace of mind...

These motors are interference motors. If you're questioning it, just do it.
