2000 Honda Accord Timing Belt?
I'm buying a 2000 Honda Accord that has only 12,000 original miles. I'm buying it from a man that hasn't driven it a lot, it's been sitting a bit. He's done maintenance on it as far as in oil changes, there's a new battery. Should I have the timing belt change right away? Does it wear from just sitting or mileage?
Replace it right away. The rule is the specified mileage or 7 years, whichever comes first, because the belt is rubber. The belt is at twice the age limit.
I'd suggest you change it just because of the age. It's a rubber belt, and it will deteriorate over time.
Usually the manufacturer specifies xxx miles OR y years, which ever comes first.
After 14 years I would say it would be advisable to have it changed.
It's doesn't wear sitting, but it does age.
Spend the $200 to change it and have peace of mind.

- I have a 2000 Honda Civic with 140,000 miles on it. Do you think the timing belt has been changed? I read somewhere that they are supposed to be changed at 105,000 miles, or seven years. My car has a lot more miles than that, and twice the age. Do you think the belt has been changed before? Or is it possible it's the original belt? Would the original have lasted this long?
- Is it worth buying a 1999 Honda Accord for $1300, but the timing belt is broke? The owner said it broke while he was driving it, but hasn't touched the car since. It's a single shaft, and by the reports I read on honda accords, usually nothing happens to the valves and pistons in the engine. But just wanted to know everyone's thoughts. The car has 200k miles, but had a brand new transmission.
- How much to fix water pump/timing belt on 96 honda accord coupe? So this woman is selling a 1996 honda accord coupe lx, auto, with about 170k miles on it and she recently replaced the radiator but the mechanics apparently told her the water pump/timing belt need to be replaced as well which I'm aware is typical for v4 honda accord. What I'm wondering is would it be worth to buy the car at $700 and get it fixed myself and how much would it be for the labor and the parts? And is the car worth that.
