The cheapest T-belt change is no change at all...!
Do as you wish, of course, but be sure you need to change it before you go through the expense. This isn't the first post where I bring up the point that these belts last a very long time, and I'm sure some CL members are sick of hearing me say it, so I'll just recommend you search the forum and what others have to say on the subject.

Yes I know if you take care of your car and preform proper maintenance, you will have a lot less trouble with it later on...but I'm not a mechanic and I don't know all the ins and outs of my car yet. I do pay attention to dates and listen to noises when I know things are wrong. I was just commenting on the durability and the quality of OEM Toyota/Lexus parts and how well they last. We all pay good money for a good quality car and want the parts to last as long as possible without replacing repetitively. I will check my belt and take it to my mechanic for a check. Thanks again.
