When I ordered a new timing belt from IAP the rep told me the belt is "now 
good for 100,000 miles".  Asked if IAP would pay for repairs if it broke 
before then.....as the belt is now at almost 40,000 miles I'm starting to 
wonder about it.  The 1st owner didn't replace the original belt and it broke 
at 65,000 miles. 

What is a reasonable mileage to go with the "new" belts?
