May purchase a '96 Corolla.
Algae 9 August 2005 03:21:46
	Hi all, I'm new to this forum and am hoping you experts can help. My daughter is purchasing her first car and we have found what looks like a very clean '96 Corolla with 151,000 km on it. I'm taking it in for a mechanical inspection tomorrow but I'm wondering if you know of any specific issues with this model (timing belt, etc.) that must be attended to or I should closely look for. Any opinions or insight would be appreciated. Thanks Gary

	Thanks Ray. I assume the timing belt replacement is a "must" as in others such as my Nissan?

The timing belt will eventually break. It is a lot more convenient to do it at a scheduled visit than on the road. In the U.S., the interval is every 60,000 miles, probably 90,000 km. You can probably safely stretch that interval to 90,000 miles. -- Ray O correct the return address punctuation to reply Gary> "Ray O" <rokigawa@tristarassociatesDOT.com> wrote in message> news:e941a$42f6e565$180fead6$10899@msgid.meganewsservers.com...>> "algae" <boycefamilynospam@shaw.ca> wrote in message>> news:RbAJe.135794$5V4.3613@pd7tw3no...>> > Hi all,>> > I'm new to this forum and am hoping you experts can help.

In years past, I (actually, my wife) has stopped dead on three occassions in two different Camrys which I (God help me) let go more than 60,000 miles. All went less than 10,000 miles beyond the 60. Have I learned my lesson? I have a 2000 Avalon. Its belt should be changed at 90K. It has 65K on it now. I'm thinking I should be able to hit 100K before giving it a second thought. jor

I assume the timing belt replacement is a "must" as in others> such as my Nissan?> Gary Most Nissans are Interference engines, meaning when the timing is lost, the valves and the pistons try to occupy the sam space at the same time. Most Toyota Twin-Cam engines are Non-Iterference, which means when the belt breaks or loses a couple teeth (I have never had a belt 'break', generally what happens is a few of the teeth wear off) you'll be calling a tow truck for a lift to a repair facility. So, in addition to the $179-259 for replacing the belt, add $65-120 for the tow!
