Default opinions welcomed on cost of repairs & what else

my 2001 5 speed is finally showing signs of age..........

water pump and belts and fluids $705.00
radiator (very small leak) on lower area $378.00
plugs & wires $142.00
thermostat housing (cracked flange) 7 & stat $081.00
all labor included in above pricing
Just got back from a round trip to mechanic about 30 miles, no signs
of leak, spotting, dripage or evidence of problems under car.
Mileage is about 110,000
Car gets (HONESTLY) about 27 to 29 MPG

Brakes seem to be good (were checked) but rears are noisy

Battery original but about $120.00 for replacement.
Car resides on the central coat of Oregon, about .25 miles from the
ocean and is garaged.

5 speed what?

This, plus a new surge tank and cap, minus belts, cost $1100 on our 2000
Intrepid recently. I normally do all my own work, but I was feeling
overwhelmed with a backlog of work I was late on so I had them do it...

> radiator (very small leak) on lower area $378.00


This was quoted at over $500 within a couple of weeks after we'd just
paid the above, at which point I decided it was a reminder of why I
do my own work. New radiator and a gallon of Zerex G-05 at Carquest
cost $150.
