When To Change Timing Belt

[2001grey]

Just picked up a 2001 is300 with 75000 original kms. Dealer says timing belt should be done every 6years or 140,000kms. Dealer service records don't show that this has been done yet, should I change it now?

So the rubber timing belt is 11 yrs old or so, and has a life expectancy of 6yrs and 90 k miles.

Do you like to gamble ? Do you win ?

If it was mine i would change it !!!
