Question: Timing Belt

Question

Visitor, 3.0L V6, Alexandria, VA, March 22, 2010, 09:59

My car has only 36,000 miles on it, but the dealer is recommending I replace the timing belt because it is now 7 years old, and that is the recommendation in the manual. Do I need to do it this soon, given the low mileage? My quote is about $3,000!!
