Does a 2007 honda accord have a timing belt?

My son is looking into buying his first car with money from his summer job. One of the cars he’s thinking about is a 2007 Honda Accord, which makes me kind of wary if he’d have to worry about potentially replacing a timing belt. Does a 2007 Honda Accord have a timing belt?

How exciting to be looking for a car with that hard-earned cash! Whether the 2007 Honda Accord has a timing belt or chain depends on the model’s engine type. The Accords from 2003 to 2007 with a V6 engine have timing belts, while the 4-cylinder engine models have timing chains.

Accords dating back to 2002 and earlier have timing belts.
The major difference between the two is that timing chains tend to be more durable than rubber timing belts. Timing belts are usually expected to require replacement at least once between 60,000 and 100,000 miles, so it’s understandable you’d be concerned about it needing replacement, depending on how many miles the vehicle has and whether the belt, if it has one, is still the original.
Timing chains, on the other hand, can last the life of the vehicle with
