Default 98 SOHC belts and hoses

I asked my dealer for a quote on belts and hoses and got a quote of $90
for the belt, and 9 hoses at $325 total parts and over $200 labor. I
didn't even know I had 9 hoses!! I'm in AZ where I don't want to skimp
on replacement of rubber parts, but I am probably way late on having
this maintenance done. The cost, however, seems extreme. Comments?

Are you sure its $90 for the belt? I remember when I replaced my belt
last year
I purchased it fo $25 at the dealer.
