Rx8 Dealer suggestions

Ok so, my fiancé took my 2004 Rx8 with 60400 miles to the dealership to get the oil changed. The dealer put the following

Needs both engine mounts $510
water pump leaking $325.
rear strut damp
60000 sevice $210
manual Transmission/Differential service $235.
spark plugs $350

also that my under shield was missing but I already knew that.

What sounds right price wise. what should be done. What seems high price wise.

That's probably the ballpark for engine mounts and water pump. You can't ignore either of those. Transmission/differential service is just changing the oil in both.

60000 mile service depends on what they're going to do for the $210. Without a list it's impossible to tell if it's worthwhile or not. Dealer service packages being what they are, I suspect not.

$350 for spark plugs would include plugs at dealer price of $200 to $250 a set. You can buy plugs everywhere else for under $80 a set.

Check the DIY section to see what you're up to doing yourself.
