60,000 Mile Service

60,000 Mile Service
I own a 2006 GS Eclipse(1st Mitsubishi)with the 5 sp manual. I bought it new in late 2005 when they were first released.
Has anyone had their 60,000 mile service yet?? Mine will be coming up before too long. The Dealership told me that they flushed all fluids and changed the timing belt. The total cost was going to be $900-$1,000!!
Does the timing belt need to be changed???? I was reading an article about today's timing belts lasting til 100,000 miles. I have owned 3 other cars in my lifetime that have gone well over 100,000 miles and never changed a timing belt.
Just wondering what you people think.

RE: 60,000 Mile Service
With a Mistu, its imperative that you change the t-belt every 60k.
$900 sounds like a fair price for a 60k.
Oil change
Coolant flush
trans service t-belt
rotate/balance tires
Air filter
complete check of everything.
All that plus the labor cost would add right up to aroun $900
