It's all individual with these cars. People who do proper cooling system maintenance (Flush every 2 years or 30,000 miles) usually don't have to replace the water pump till past 250k miles sometimes. When proper maintenance is done, the seals are kept in good condition and typically don't leak. Most people do the water pump at around the 130k mile mark just for peace of mind though. It certainly isn't going to hurt anything.
