FWIW I would just get the belt done....! And I would be surprised if you can get it done for less than that ! My Alfa independent specialist would charge about £400 for a belt change but that would include the tensioners/water pump etc. Besides, after it is done you can use all the performance without being wary of the belt snapping... ( I speak from experience of my first Alfa 156...having just bought it from a mate, it was booked in but I drove it for a couple of days to work ....of course it snapped the day before it was due to be done. )
And as has been said, the car will be worth more when you come to sell it on, especially as it looks like you will be improving it during your ownership.
I never get how some places charge so much for a belt change. My Astra was £210 including water pump, tensioner and pulley And as has been said, the car will be worth more when you come to sell it on, especially as it looks like you will be improving it during your ownership.
