Respectful dissent
I respectfully dissent in part, AND concur in part with my esteemed colleagues, Do the belt, inspect the components,Rebuild the tensioner, and inspect the WP
My rationale is that I have heard that timing belts if sitting for a while "set" and may cause WP trauma. Also, they tend to age a bit even if you don't put the mileage on the car. IMHO you should probably go looking for some problems before they find you. A low mileage WP MIGHT be good, give it a good peek and make the call. Replacing a perfectly good WP might be excessive. Rebuild the tensioner (replacing the boot)
Yes, Non interference engine. belt failure is a nuisance rather than a catastrophe, but, still a nuisance.
Have the car appraised by a good 928 person.
