I had the belt changed as part of the regular service at 90,000 km, which is about 56,000 miles, and the complete service cost me only €355, which is around $500. The invoice shows (roughly) parts $290, labour for changing the belt $125, other labour charges $85. This was at an Audi dealer in Spain.

Labour charges in Spain may be lower than in the US, but not that much. Also, my invoice included 16% value-added tax, which is a pleasure you don't enjoy in the US.

It looks as though somebody's ripping somebody off.
