How much beyond 70,000 miles could a 850 GLT timing belt last? 850

Greetings:

How much longer could one go beyond the 70,000 mile interval before the belt actually snapped? On my 740's I have gone as much as 45,000 miles over. I do realize that the 740 8 valve is a non-interference engine, and that the 850 is not. But I have read that the 850 t-belts are so much more wider and thicker, than the old 740 belt! I am looking at replacing my t-belt within the next 30-45 days along with the water pump, and belt tensioner (automatic?). I just purchased the car for pennies! According to the last belt change, it seems as though it was done about 72,000 miles ago, and the odometer reads 153,000 (disregard the previous 160,000 miles/prior post). Would I be fairly safe for the next 45 days? I was thinking of checking the condition/tension of the belt. Please help!


Best Regards!
