Timing Belt--Dealer says at 90K
Hello
I have 59K and have heard everyone talk about how it should be replaced at or before 60K.
I called the dealer and they said not necessary until 90K to 100K.
Any adivce on what i should do?
Is it also true that seals/gaskets and water pump should also be replaced sine they are in there.
What should also be replaced when the timing belt is replaced?
What is the average price for replacement?

somebody just broke at 60k
that'll probably run him 4k. if you do it all now (tbelt, waterpump, serpentine belt, thermostat) it'll cost you about 1100 at the dealer, 7-800 at an independent, but get a good one. or you can do it yourself, i happen to be working on a write up for it. parts are about $300.
