<p>We have a 2000 Toyota Camry with 87,000 miles. At the recommendation of our mechanic, we elected to replace the water pump along with the timing belt last month since 90% of the labor was already done. The cost of the water pump itself was negligible.</p>
<p>I suggest you get a quote from an independent mechanic. The quote on our car was $400 more from the Toyota dealer than from our local mechanic.</p>
