They break even why they look good.

Usually, car makers recommend replacing timing belts between 60 and 100k mi.
So yours is  way overdue.

Chances are that you will be replacing it soon. It is much bette to replace
it before it breaks than after.

Replace it now (unless it was replaced recently).

if i was you my friend i would change that belt never mind wat the mechanic
says he might be trying to get some money off you because it is a big job
they should be changed every 60000 miles

I made the app to get the timing belt changed.  Thank you for the advice.

If it's anything like my timing belt in my '95 Escort, then it's not that big a
job. Remove the front passenger side front wheel. Take the plastic, inner
fender out (it's easy) and now you have a good view of the engine. You will
need a second scissors jack to support the engine while you remove the engine
mount (also easy). Take the accessory belts off and you're already looking
straight at the timing belt cover. It comes off easy. You might want to have a
service manual to tell you what timing marks end up where when you put the new
belt on. You're also faced with the decision on whether you want to expand the
job to replace the water pump and hoses as general maintenance. Think about
that. I had that timing belt idler pulley go bad on me once. If it's just the
belt, I can do the job in 3 hours and I don't really work that fast. Good Luck,
Scott

I had it replaced at a shop.  They charged me $155 for parts and labor.  The
belt looks new but the mechanic said they can go even if they look good.
