Default Coupe owners...timing belt replacement?

So, of those of you who have 3.0 coupes, when did you replace your timing belt, and what did you pay for it? Im in the mid 60s now, considering having it done..i did the laser last year, and i just dont feel like wrestling with the stratus...so im curious what others have paid.

I paid something like $200 or so I don't have the paperwork with me @ the moment but can reply later when I get home today. But it was @ Jim Reilh's Crysler Jeep on 14 mile and Van Dyke in warren ask for Tim Ruthenberg, he can quote you.

wow what dealership did u go to?? The dealerships near me it cost $390 to change the tranny fluid and they charge $90 a hour and that was a really long job. It cost me $200 for waterpump belt, tensioner, serpentine belts, that stupid little tensioner tool and i needed to get a tool to get the balancer off but it was too late because the car was completely stripped down and i just made a homemade tool to get it off and to torque it.

You know what I'm sorry, I had my Power Steering and Alternator Belts replaced. I'm looking at my bill and it states 102.97 for labor, 38.55 for the PS belt and 66.51 For the alt belt & others
