The timing belt on 2004 and later V6 is scheduled for change at 90,000 miles. While I'm sure there are Solara's running just fine at mileages higher than that this V6 is an 'interference' engine. Meaning, if the belt breaks any valves left open will be hit by pistons before the engine comes to a complete stop. Damage to valves cylinder heads and pistons will be considerable and expensive. When changing the belt it's strongly suggested (though not part of the listed maintenance) that the water pump be changed at the same time since everything needed to reach it is already off the engine.
