Default Servicing questions (80k, 100k, timing belt, etc)

So a couple of quick Q's: 1, the car needs it's 80k mile servicing and was wondering what that entailed, and 2, the warranty expires the 29th of this month, so I was curious as to what is usually done around 100-120k miles. Also, isn't the timing belt one of those things that has to be done around this time? How much does that run about without any kind of warranty?

Default timing belt should be done somewhere in the 70-80k mile range, so do that now...

...along with the list of other things while you are in there.

Default Timing belt job which entails changing not just the timing belt runs around $1600 and up...

if you do it at a dealer. The water pump, thermostat, timing belt, timing belt tensioner, serpentine belt and a couple of rollers are included in the whole job. You could replace some extra stuff as well if you want to safe some headaches in the near future after the TB job. I/we
did it for 4 hours, total of 4 people.
