Whether Your 2003 Toyota Camry has a timing belt or a timing chain will depend on what type of engine it has under the hood. Models with A4Cylinder motor will use a timing belt system while models with the V6 engine will use a timing chain. The timing chains are expected to last the life time of the vehicle and will not need to replaced under normal circumstances. Timing belts will have to be replaced and that should be done every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. The cost of replacing the timing belt will range between $500 to $900 if You take it in to a mechanic or dealership.
