RX-300 T-Belt replacement?

I think the owner's manual specifies 90k, but the dealer we used when we had a RX 300 claimed you should have it done at 75k. We were quoted a price of $2,000 which included other belts and the water pump. The Honda Pilot, on the other hand, requires a change at 105k.

You all just scared the %@&* out of me. I've had the timing belt changed on a Toyota, a Mazda and a Volvo each for something like a couple of hundred not thousands. There is no way that preventative maintenance on a car should cost thousands of dollars. According to the website auto.consumerguide.com the average cost of timing belt replacement for the RX300 is $425.

I agree. The local dealer wanted to get rich. I traded on a Pilot and cut my maintenance costs significantly. Service at 15k miles only ran 109.00 on the PIlot vs close to $500 on the RX 300, for example.
