Hey guys i want to buy a 95 magna for a friend. I assume that 95 is TS right.
Also are the timing belt in these inside the engine? This one has done 130km and hasn't been changed, does it need to be? How much does it cost?

they should be.
Timing belts are usually replaced every 100k service or so to memory.

Yeah i know its at 100K it should be done, not sure after that , make sure you look over the whole car & see hows transmission is also..
If its from a priv seller there usually kept better, sales yards are more stingy on things..
but timing belt will have to be done within the near future..
Good luck with it lol

What I have been told is that not changing belt at 100 000 KM is risky (in terms of causing more expensive mechanical failure). The more you leave it the more risky the situation becomes. As you know cost of changing will depend on who you get. I would guess at least $150 or more but I don't really know.
I bought a 95 TS magna 4cycl 2.6L auto (executive model) recently and it has 59 000 genuine km on the clock. The car is in A1 condition as indicated by two mechanics. I paid $5400 and it needed 4 tyres on top of that plus a service including front brake pads. In total the car has cost me about $6100. As I have just lost my job I am thinking I might have to sell it. I haven't decided yet. I guess it would depend on how much someone was going to pay for it.
