it is a non-interference engine. won't damage the engine if the belt goes. all you will need is a tow. i would get it changed.
Well, sorta... The piston won't hit the valves, but the valves can smack into each other - all depends on how lucky you are.
I have read of folks whose belts broke - I believe all were over 100,000 miles.
Replacing every 60,000 miles is dealer greed.
