Try somewhere like Repco, they sell them, and it should only be a matter of unbolting your belts & bolting in the new ones.

Just check that they are the right ones (some say on their box what cars they fit). but its not that big a cost. Looking to change the ones in whatever bug you buy? Unless you can be certain of the history of the car, not a bad move.

NEVER buy or use second-hand seatbelts... especially fcars more than 4 or 5 years old. You don't know where they've been... or if they've been crashed or has shit spilt on them.... and $140 for a front pair isn't too bad, I reckon. What's your life worth etc etc?
Klippan (manufacturer in Aus) recommends that belts be replaced at least every 10 years due to UV light weakening the webbing and general wear in the locking/retractor mechanisim
