Should I replace belts?

I have a 2003 CL-S with 41k miles on it. I dont know what services were done before I got the car in Feb. '09 but I got it at a Acura dealer & it had 22k miles on it then and looked like the previous owner babied the car. I suffered an injury that has me partially disabled now & thats how I ended up getting my CL-S cuz its a Auto trans cuz my old car was a 6spd but I cant push in the clutch anymore( I miss driving manual sports cars so much!). Anyway I always use thoroughly inspect my car but cuz of my disability I havent been able to inspect it. So I was wondering if anyone thought I should change my timing & other belts due to its age? IDK if they were replaced before I bought the car but if they werent they only have 41k on it which is extremely low miles but do you think they would need to be replaced cuz of age since the car is 7-8yrs old? Is there any other services anyone would recomend because of its age?

Sorry 2 hear about your situation, but with a Full tune up, & fuel filter change you should be fine... Visually check all belts if all good dont worry about them till around 80k

Yeah, your belts should be fine. Just keep up on your fluid changes i.e. brake fluid, coolant, and oils.
