When should I replace the timing belt on my JDM car?

Typical intervals: Mazda rotaries (no timing belt, chain-driven), Toyota inline-six (90,000 miles/145,000 km), Honda B-series (105,000 miles/170,000 km), Mitsubishi 4G63T (60,000 miles/100,000 km, interference engine critical), Nissan SR20DET (chain-driven, no belt). Check your service manual for exact specifications.

Next: plan the move

Found the car. Understand the handover.

Before making promises about collection, coordinate the inspection, paperwork, seller release and transport. Give each part of the purchase its own check.
