Just returned from the local Chrysler dealer and was given a guess price of $550 labor and close to $200 parts, including the water pump to replace the timing belt. The Service fellow said the job was a real pain, and the techs really didn't want to do them??? He also said that the belt should have been replaced at 60,000 miles, and needs to be replace every 60,000 there after. I asked if he ever had a car in with it broken, and he said no. Has anyone on this forum actually broken a belt?

That's pretty much what it cost to have it replaced on my '01 PT. Actually, the manual says to replace every 120k, but I've heard 90k is better. I have heard od a couple of people who had the belt break and even though it is considered a non-interference engine there was still damage that went beyond just replacing the timing belt.
