Hmm, considering the new style (round tooth) gears are nearly 400 each , and you will probably need a crank and or oil pump gear, I think his price is suspiciously too low.
Considering you have a 16 valve car (and I would never tell someone to drive it til it breaks) , if it is a US 16V car it most likely will *NOT* have an interference issue if the belt breaks (this is a good thing).
If you can follow instructions (like how to bake a cake) and have some hand tools (and a few specialty tools you can borrow or purchase) you can do this yourself, however if the gears are messed up (and if you have the old style gears) you are going to be replacing all the gears (2 cam gears, oil pump gear, crank gear) and a new style belt. I would be suspicious of any mechanic offering to do any timing belt job on a 928 for 700 bucks (unless he is saying the gears are great and the tensioner can be rebuilt)..
