Should I do these repairs for a 2005 CRV - Do these make sense?

CR-V mechanical problem

Post Body

I love my 2005. We even named him. He's in great shape, only 157k miles, well maintained.
We're convinced he can easily make it to 250k miles, maybe much more.

Today, at his annual checkup, the local shop says he needs:
. All 4 shocks replaced (all are blown, happened gradually)
. Rear differential mount (it's broken)
. Fluids maintenance - brake, power steering, coolant, differential (not done in last few years; due every 7)

Estimate comes to $6,000-$7,000.

My CRV is worth what, $15,000?

I don't want to be irrational - is this worth doing?

I'm not pining for any other car. I'd happily keep this one and just keep repairing him.

Rough breakdown of expenses (don't have comprehensive written estimate yet):
. Shocks: ca. $4,600
. Rear differential mount: ca. $400 or $500
. Fluids: ca. $500

What do you think?

I have a pretty much mint condition 05’. It is not worth 15k
