Make sure you do change it because this engine will bend its valves causing major engine damage if it breaks.
60K thats a new one lol where did you find that out, anyway i got the timing belt done done as there was no records of it ever being done in the past, i did ask the mechanic to do the water pump too but after he saw it he didn't change it as it doesn't run off the timing belt
still not sure on the timing belt interval on this car
