Default Blown drive shaft...

My awesome little ti has finally started showing some signs of its age. I have a 1998 ti with 276k miles on it. The motor is strong but the original clutch is starting to slip a tad and now there is a vibration around 3200 rpm in 1st and 2nd. I took her into my mechanic and he told me the joints in the drive shaft are gone and the drive shaft is basically a jump rope. He said I could have the drive shaft rebuilt but he thought it would be better to get a new one for it.

He quoted around $700 for the new drive shaft and $700 for the new clutch. No question about fixing it.. but I am wondering if the price is normal or is it over priced?

Not sure you guys remember this one, it has the factory M package (body parts) and the California roof (cloth based).
