Default If you look up the recommended replacement interval I bet it's closer to his figure

if not dead on. Look, you're not going to get him to reduce his price based on what should be done.Just figure in a new timing belt in how much you want to pay, if he wants too much, move on.

Default alright, that may be true.

but i disagree upon your 2nd statement. If there is scheduled maintenance to be done i believe the person selling the car should either 1) take care of it before it is sold. or 2) take it into account on the selling price of the car.

If he sees it that way great, maybe we can make a deal. If not he can keep it.

Default if you're talking about TB, it probably is 105k recommended...

if he was on AW it would probably be harder to sell without TB service, but most people aren't aware...

Default Not worth a fight. Discount by $250-500 and DIY - not a hard job at all, just time consuming

Looks like a nice car! I want an Avant so bad...

Default Re: Quick qestions about the timing belt.

it is 105k per the dealership for my 01
Plus at dealer prices, I'm sure the owner would be watching the milage closely.
