Agree with both above posts. $8k is crazy and him so willing to counter is highly suspect. A second opinion is in order here.

Thanks, all. I have it back. It still makes the noise on startup but goes away in a few mins. There are no other independent LR shops around. I could take it to my normal mechanic that I trust but hes not real familiar with this engine. Plus, how much more should I spend on this for a vehicle worth 13k?
I don't think the mechanic that wanted to make an offer had nefarious intent, I think he just sees it is in great shape except for mechanical issues and he's a mechanic!
