What should be the average lifetime of a timing belt for this vehicle, and what should be the approximate cost for replacing the timing belt?

Should be replaced before 100k miles. You are looking at around 4.5 hrs of labor at what ever the shop charges, the belt is around $65 If teh water pump is run by the timing belt then it needs to be repalced at the same time which is another .2 labor plus the pump which is around $80
