Pulley should actually be a 60K item, or three/four years...and it's one job you can't 'leave till spring' because the cold generally pushes it over the edge. The first cold snap usually clears out the dealer stock.
I had one go on my 9-5 (after 'barely catching' 2 on my 95SET and 1 on my Aero, 9-5 is more or less same setup), and I can say it's not guaranteed to be a roadside fix...the belt shredded so badly that the crank pulley had to come off and nearly the water pump, too. Don't forget the center pulley, either, it is larger and spins slower but will eventually suffer a similar fate.
