expensive question about timingbelt/accident
k, i got my car(97 accord lx) from my brother and he bought it from another guy. when he bought the car it had around 88-89k on it. before he bought the car(he didnt ask about timing belt at the time) it was in a frontal collision, i did a carfax on it and it has a "salvage title" at one point and then later on it recieved a "rebuilt" title. ill copy and paste the definitions of this as i see it on the carfax history report
Salvage Title
A Salvage Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle exceeds ~ 75% of its pre-damage value.. This damage threshold may vary by state. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage but the majority use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state. The following ten States also use Salvage titles to identify stolen vehicles - AZ, FL, GA, IL, MD, MN, NJ, NM, NY, OK and OR.
Rebuilt/Reconstructed Title
A Rebuilt/Reconstructed vehicle is a salvage vehicle that has been repaired and restored to operation. These vehicles are often severely damaged before they are rebuilt and refurbished parts are typically used during reconstruction. In most states, an inspection of the vehicle is required before the vehicle is allowed to return to the road.
this is the question. since the car has the rebuilt title and the damage occured to the front, do u think that they would have used a new timing belt during the refurbishing? also, honda recommends that it must be done at 90k and im now at 124k do you think it shouldve broken by now? honda gives me the "not necessarily" answer with just about anything i ask them. so now im asking the honest people.
thanks for ANY help.
