Vectra 2.6 V6 2001

Hello!
ANY IDEAS HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO CHANGE THE CAMBELT (JAKOHIHNA)?
I bought the car 1 week ago, and it needs changing within next 10tkm. It's a 2001 estate, driven 113tkm, the belt was last changed at 65tkm
I've been quoted 500€ so far is this o.k, good, bad, any experiences?
Any help on the best place to go? I live in Klaukkala, Nurmijärvi.
P.S I will be looking to add photos of my car soon
P.P.S Anyone know how many of these there are in Finland
Thanks Chris.

I think that 500€ is pretty ok for V6 cambelt change.
Usually the price is around 500-800€, at least what i have been told.

Yep yep, i have been quoted by a friends garage in Tuusula 500e including water pump. Not too bad i guess, as my local garage here in Klaukkala (opel) wanted 500e not including water pump and another here wouldnt even touch the car cos he has never worked on the Vectra V6 before I know you dont have to change pump at same time, but have been advised that whilst you have everything 'off' so to speak, you may as well change pump at same time
