Timing Belt Question re: 2002 Prius

Your car has a timing chain. No timing belt. Be sure previous owner has proof that all the regular service including oil changes have been done on schedule. Also as this engine has a replaceable chain tensioner listen for any timing chain noise.

It is a belt. While I do not suggest this, I bought my 2002 Toyota Prius with 64,000+ miles. Today I hit 225,000 miles and still on original belt. Labor and part is only about $70. Buy the car, replace the belt and continue to smile about your fuel savings!!
