It's inexpensive to replace if you do it yourself but shops usually charge a lot due to the effort required to get to the belt.

It's very rare to see a Subaru timing belt break, even if it's WAY overdue. The older Subarus (Loyale, XT) did not do so good with timing belts, but it's not common to see a Forester, Impreza, Legacy, or SVX break a belt. Dave |

Our 88 Justy broke a belt after 140,000kms/87,000mi or so. We put in a replacement and kept on going. There was oil on the belt that probably shortened its life.
