How long will you be keeping the car?

If you are going to get rid of it at 100K miles, that means one belt
change -- get it done now to spare yourself potential aggravation.

If you expect to keep it until 150 miles, changing it at 75K means
one belt change vs. 2 for 60K mile intervals.  Are you feeling lucky?
