I agree with Ricky- 6 years would be my benchmark unless you put LOTS of miles on the car. Down here in Florida, we have plenty of heat-related aging that affects all the rubber parts, including the timing belt so I'm used to replacing these things often. The flip-side is we have considerably less rain and no salt on the roads so our cars age very slowly.
Put it this way, drop the approx. $250 into a new installed timing belt and sleep easier knowing baby will last until the next decade. Once the '80s thing hits the pop culture, our cars are going to be worth a fortune!

Or in other words, can I go 8 years without replacing the belt as long as I keep the accumulated mileage below 50K? What do you think?
