I have a Toyota corolla 2000 - I don't know when the cambelt has been changed (if ever). How much is a realistic price to get it changed (and all the associated water pump etc costs) - I don't want to get scammed on the price. I'm in Aucks.

Uh-oh - I am a girly girl with no idea at all about anything to do with cars.

Obviously the OP has put it in the "too hard" basket and gone shopping for junk that's not actually needed.

The only figure that is relevant is the quote that the person doing the work gives you.
Go to two or three different workshops and ask for quotes.

$400 - $800 give the mechanic a fair go they probably only earn as much as you (if you are working) and they are getting dirty.
