There is a old saying, if it isn't broken don't replace it.

I have 2005 with 85,000 miles and it's not broken so why spend lot of money.

Can't totally agree with not doing anything about the harmonic balancer issue. Do a little more homework, watch some YouTube videos concerning this, and then make an informed decision. The job is pricey, but peace of mind may be the call on this.
