Using full sentences would make it easier for others to follow what you are saying

Has your oil been changed regularly? (Canadian severe service interval is every 3 months/5000km). Do you have the records for that?

If so, and your car is stock, getting the timing chain replaced under warranty with the newer design (2012+) timing chain that is less prone to stretching should not be an issue. This is probably of little consolation, but you are not the only one to be in this spot.

Going to the right dealer is key in the GTA, as many of them are less than competent.

Mine is 09 and got 107,000 clicks on mine, modded and no chain issue. Hope dont have to worry bout that.

As trailbrake said, it really helps, or should I say, it keeps the timing chain from premature wear or stretching if you do your oil regularly. Having said that, it also includes if you dont abuse your car.

...and the car is 'not junk'. Take a deep breathe.
Every car has issues. All of them.

I hope you researched the forum and the interwebs thoroughly before buying (i did).
