63k and 5 years is very young to need a timing chain. Unless a) the car had been severely abused, or b) there's been a component failure which was not rectified, such as the tensioner, it is very unlikely that you need a new chain.
What symptoms led to the diagnosis? When chains get old, they stretch, and start to rattle. That's when you might start thinking about a replacement.
It is quite common for chains to go beyond 200k, and it's very rare that they get replaced under 150k.
I am assuming this is a 4 cyl engine, right? I think the V6 may have a belt (is that right, everyone? I'm not familiar with the GM V6 (spit)), and that's a different story altogether.
