The manual says timing belt @120K. What's a more practical interval(not just in miles but years as well)? How much does it typically cost at an indy (SoCal)?
The car is just under 40K now, what would be the big maintenance items?
Do the '09 T5's come with (HU-850) HD radio, USB, Bluetooth?
Spare Tire?
Any known problems of this particular year/model?
Thanks

 

120k or 10 to 12 years.
Don't know on indy pricing.
There is a Bluetooth kit that can be added.
They come with spares.
No major issues. Those are good cars.

 

If it's an 09 you'll want to:
Replace: brake fluid, air filter, cabin filter, plugs (only on age, not miles)
Check: spring seats, flame box, intercooler hose from charge pipe to intercooler for oil damage and axle boots. Ten years or 120k is what we do on t-belts. I've yet to see one break before that time.
