How much would it cost to change the struts on my van?

I have a 1996 Oldsmobile Shiloutte van and I was told that the struts need to be replaced. What would the approximate cost be if I took it to a reputable mechanic?How much would it cost to change the struts on my van?
Best guess would be 6 to 8 hundred dollars. But why do you need struts... usually you only need them if you have a lot of miles on the car or you live in the country where there are very rough roads. That檚 not to say I am completely correct, but close enough I would get another opinion. Maybe I should ask, who told you they need to be replaced?

(Rodster sent me an e-mail.... believe me, he needs new struts.)How much would it cost to change the struts on my van?
