early 60k mile service - $600 ***WHAT!? For fluid changes?! I don't think so...
serpentine belt and pully replacement $300 ***Wait till 60k.
replace front lower control arm bushings and align suspension - $756 ***STUPID. I just replaced mine at 182k miles and they weren't all that worn. Unless you have noticeable clunking or instability don't worry about it.
Fix window glass seal - $150 *** How important is this to you? It's not going to strand you on the side of the road...
Xenon bulb replacement (about a year old)- $232 ***Bull twinky. Are your lights dim/flickering? If not, don't replace.
PCV service and replace oil pressure switch - $615 ***Definitely get PCV, and you should probably get the oil pressure switch done, but they shouldn't come anywhere near that price.
replace two rear tires (tires replaced less then 10k miles ago) - $380 ***If you have to replace the rear tires after 10k miles you probably have rear camber issues which should be fixed with some shims before replacing tires.
Front break pads and rotors worn- $520
fix small exhaust leak and rear muffler rust - $580 ***No. Mufflers rust, big deal. If it's working don't replace it. I just did mine at 182k miles too; it was original.
