Water Pump

Need to replace water pump. What has anyone used for the 7g? My mechanic wants $600 to do the job with the OEM part but I think thats kind of costly. Any suggestions?

Its not the pump itself, its the fact that he has to do a full timing belt job as well. The pump costs about 120 - 130 bucks.

Yea the timing belt I know he has to do also. But does that price sound right?

Dealer's price is about the same.
