How much does it cost to replace a Cadillac Catera serpentine belt?

I just replaced mine because the automatic tensioner pully locked up (which from what I've found online was actually recalled though since I got mine used I was never informed) & melted the pulley & belt. The tensioner was about $90 & belt was about $40. All in all it took about 2hrs to replace both parts & get it up & running again. Good Luck!
