Dear Sir,

I bought this car 2 weeks back but the owner is not sure if timing belt need to changed. And he is also not aware if the previous owner changed the timing belt. Hence could you please help me with the following:

1. How to know if timing belt is changed?
2. For Toyota Camry, when is the ideal time (at what mileage) to change the timing belt.

Thank you very much for you help and time.
