Cost to replace V6 timing belt?

Hi, all. I'm considering purchasing a 9-5 to replace my 234k mile BMW. Cost is an issue, so I will be looking at cars with ~100k miles on them. I have driven both I4 and V6 cars, and the V6 does have a nice boost in torque, plus traction control, both of which are desireable to me. However, unless I find a car with a full service history (not bloody likely) I will have to replace the timing belt ASAP. From what I've read here, the timing belt tensioner and probably the water pump should be done at the same time, which makes perfect sense to me. Now, since it's about 2 degrees at the moment and I'm not about to crawl under the car in this weather to DIY, the question is, what can I expect to pay for all this? I'm in suburban NY, if it matters.
Also, any other information about what to look for in high mileage 9-5s with either engine would be much appreciated. Thanks very much for your help.
