If your car only has 130,000 miles on it then it should be easy! pull the timing belt cover off and check the belt for your self, if it looks like it's been on their sense 1984 and has "Honda" stamped on the outside then there is a good chance that it's original and should be changed, if it looks new and has another brand stamped on it then it's been replaced and should be good till you have 200,000+ miles on the car, if the past owner had the timing belt replaced at the dealer then it would be another Honda part (mine was replaced with an OEM belt) but most of the time the auto part store will sell you a Gates belt and they claim that their belts will last longer then OEM.
Either way the car is new to you so you should check the timing belt for age and cracks.
