Doing the new VX dance

This doesn't sound good. Why would a timing belt be changed at 65K? 100K is timing belt change out unless something ridiculous is going on. Leaking fluids....I would keep my eyes open for a better VX. Just my opinion.

JDM timing belt change out is at 100,000 kilometres, which equates to around 62,500 miles.
Same timing belt in basically the same engine, so would have expected you guys to be changing belts around 65,000.

But your Isuzu Manual indicates the timing belt gets changed out at 100,000 miles.

I am in full agreement that you should look for a better VX. There is no reason you should buy a vehicle of any kind with problems off the bat, unless you are getting a stellar deal and know how to fix a lot of stuff yourself.

There are PLENTY of VXes for sale, just take your time, and travel if necissary....but I think I already said that.
