How much does it cost to replace a new timing chains?

I drive a 2000 celica gt-s 6 speed manual and I found out that my car doesnt have a timing belt but a timing chain. Nothing seems to be wrong with my timing chain though i can't really see it cus it's inside my engine but my car is over 100 k miles already and i was wondering how much it will cost me to changed it just in case. I know its not cheap.How much does it cost to replace a new timing chains?had you bought a Chevy or a ford $20-$30..
