How much am I looking at approximately to have a cambelt replaced in a Hyundai Getz. Interested in a 2004 Getz and I suspect I will be up for this cost if I buy so need to factor it in to my purchase price if I decide to buy. Thanks :-)

I'd check which engine its got. Later models don't have belts

$300 or so, pretty simple to do.

$300 sounds good. The one I had planned to bid on ended up having terrible service history. Had been owned for 3 years and not been serviced at all. Am looking at another that has had cam belt done.
How often do the belts need changing? Years/km's
Thanks.

Depends on the make and model, Holden Astra for example is every 3 years or 60 000kms, or a late 90's Toyota Camry is every 10 years or 150 000kms. Don't be scared of cambelts, they are much cheaper to do than chains if they fail.

My 2005 Getz says every 90,000 in the service book.
Changing it is easy and cheaper with aftermarket parts such as, 'Gates timing kits'.
