2001 Mercury Sable 6 cyl 29000 miles

Hi - the dealer where I have my 2001 Sable serviced told me I have a leaking oil pan gasket, which is leaking onto the starter. He said to replace it would cost about $450 [$86 for the gasket, $45 for misc shop supplies, and $305 for labor . Does that sound right? The gasket has never been replaced before. As you can tell from the low mileage the car only gets driven around town.
