I just bought a 1997 Honda CRV all wheel drive with 80,000 miles on it from a used car dealer. The dealer claims to have run the mandatory safety check and performed routine maintenance such as changing the oil. I don't have any history of prior servicing. The car spent its first 4 years in Las Vegas, Nevada and the last three years in Southern California according to Carfax. The Owner's Manual says to replace the timing belt at 105,000 miles or 84 months --whichever comes first. Since the car is 84 months old, should I go ahead and replace the timing belt to be safe? Is this the type of engine that suffers damage if the timing belt brakes while the engine is running? Do you have any other recommendations as to things that should be checked and/or serviced? Thank you for your help, Bob PS: We really like the car and it seems very solid.
