Default timing belt or timing chain in RX330?

Hi,
I am getting the Thundercloud edition RX330 from 2005. I am wondering if it has timing chain? I've heard Lexus/Toyota replaced the belt in 2005 models with chain. Is that true? It will save me some $$. Car has 95K.
thank You for any help.

The 3.3L V6 (VVTi) has a belt. It is also an interference design.
