Cost for power steering pressure hose work?

A small shop estimated $1,000 on replacing the power steering pump hose.
I feel as if they're ripping me off just because it's a Jaguar. Granted, from experience, everything in this car compared to others I know can be 2-3 times more expensive to repair or replace. What do you think? And, think it would be better if I buy the part and do it myself?
Because if it really is $1,000, then this car has literally turned into a money pit and I should've found out a long time ago. Even the $100s I might spend on this are showing... plus whatever problems will inevitably show in the process.
Just wondering. This legit?

I have a parts car I can get you the hoses off of. as for swapping them out, it will not cost you anywhere near that. Rough guess it will be about a 3 hour job. If your not handy I would say about 6 hours. I can give you a great price on the hoses. PM me and Let me know and we can go from there.
Good Luck,
The Dr!

Well, the guy said it was the power steering pressure hose. Found a new OEM one for about $100. If it's like mentioned above, there's the chance of me being able to do it myself. The whole hoisting the engine and dropping the sub-frame thing for just the power steering hose seemed like a total try for extra hours of work out of my wallet.
You think I should replace any other hoses that should be replaced while replacing this if it's certainly this particular hose? I notice you mentioned the suction hose which is also pretty cheap.
