Would this be a rip-off?

I just took my recently purchased 1989 SAAB 9000CD in to a mechanic just for a tune-up. He, however, told me that I need the following items, which will cost 2150$ for parts and labor (@$%&#!!!):
Control Arm Bushings $318
motor mounts $450
2 belts and tensioner $150
timing chain and 3 guides and tensioner $800
waterpump $205
and various gaskets and stuff
I just talked to him over the phone for a minute so I don't know exact numbers or parts. Mainly, is that a right price for the t-chain? I don't plan on paying 2100 for this (bought the car for 2000). So any feedback? Is this a rip? The prices include labor. I'm not a big time doit yourselfer, but I could probably do most things. So if possible, I'd like to buy parts and do myself, if I can keep the cost down low. Otherwise, I'll have to sell it and go back to my old Accord.
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.
