Toyota Repair: 1988 Camry Timing Belt, timing belt, pushing the envelope


Question
I have a 1988 Camry with 115,700 miles on it.  The timing belt cover shows the original belt was changed at 60,000 miles.  The car is a great running car, with all normal maintenance taken care of.  However, there is very little paint left on it and I'd rather not dump any more money into it.  My question is how much longer can I get away with driving this car without replacing the timing belt again?

Answer
It is recommended to replace the timing belt every 60,000 miles, you may be able to get 80,000 miles out of it but it's pushing the envelope a little and you are leaving yourself open for a situation where you may be stranded someplace and have to be towed.
