I hear what you are saying and I guess it's a lottery?? Having looked at the belts they don't appear to bad!! There is no fraying the teeth look good and there are only faint marks on the smooth side!! The problem is I only have a small amount of history from the previous owner who had it for less than a year before me
so the belts were due before documented history started. I was told by the previous owner that he was told the car was always serviced on time at mgr but that is really only hearsay. Looks like I'll have to do it sooner rather than later
