Timing belt change!
hey!
i have called around to get quotes for my timing belt change and it seems to be about $985. how does this sound? this inculdes the belt, water pump, and tensioner. The best price i got was from Crown Lexus. Do you think i need my water pump and tensioners changed? If not the timing belt change will cost about 500 only. i'm thinking i should change becuase they are taking apart the car already and it will save on labor. what do you think? thanks!

yes, change it all out.
now call a few Lexus certified Toyota dealerships/service centers. You may see the price for tb, wp, tensioner, and belts drop a couple of hundred.
good luck.

Yeah you should change it all. The reason is that if you have problems later on it will cost you even more as all of these parts are generally in the same area and require time to take out. Thats what I did when I bought my 1st gen,

Got some questions:
How far as everyone gone on the same timing belt before changing it?
And anyone have a timing belt snap on them?
I ask because I have a 95 ES300(bought new) and I have never changed the belt on it and it now has 117K miles.
