$200 to replace windshield washer fliud bottle?

My dad's 2000 S430 taken to dealer for service. Several problems were found, which are:
Leakage on washer fluid bottle - $200 to replace bottle
BAS light - $275 to replace wires
Front driver-side window - $450 to replace motor

Do those prices seem reasonable? or does it seem expensive? For me, it seems too expensive (Although I was kinda expecting somewhat expensive since MB parts are expensive than other auto parts). Please reply with comments.

Btw, my dad car was taken to Caliber Motors @ Anaheim Hills.

It is difficult to reconcile the cost with the value. Mercedes is certainly proud of its parts, and grossly overcharges through its dealers. I recently replaced my air strut mounts; if it had been done under warranty, Mercedes would have been billed $50 each for the parts; but I was billed $145 each.
