How does the car look? Does it run OK otherwise? Any suspension issues?

When the timing belt is replaced, it is a given that you should replace
the water pump. The part is cheap, and everything else is already apart.
Just simple common sense to get it done...

If the car looks good, and runs well, then yeah, I would have it fixed. A
Honda with good maintenance can easily reach 300k. And since you don't
drive it much, you could get several more years out of it...
