How long does the cvt last if you change the fluid every 30k? Whats the highest miles you guys have heard a cvt having without probs, im looking at one with 160000 miles and its clean, serviced at the stealer and the battery has been replaced. what about the timing chains, how long will they last if you drive like grand ma. Thanks guys , your feed back will help alot!

Not an expert on CVT, but, to my understanding there is no timing belt for the insight ( I might be wrong?).
