Thanks Ali bhai, Could you tell for sure? I need to purchase a car which has mileage around 95,000. This information would be very important factor in my purchase (I'm outside of Pakistan, and here a mechanic charges $150 just to change the timing belt)
Thanks for your help !

It has a chain. And here in Pakistan, Labor is very cheap, they won't charge more than a $10 to replace a timing belt. Secondly theses reconditioned cars get servicing done before dispatch from japan, so chill.

So far one vote for Timing Chain and one for Timing Belt
Actually guys i am a student, currently in Japan right now, I wanna buy a car for myself and I dont know much japanese as of now to ask an expert here. If anyone has owned a ~2007 Alto and has had to open up the engine or had a belt/chain related issue please contribute to this discussion
