'99 9-3 maintenance now + future?

I've been toying with the idea of selling/trading in my '99 9-3 (127k miles) and getting a new car, but I really like it so if the current maintenance and near-future issues aren't too bad, I'd like to keep it. I'm planning to take it to the indy mechanic tomorrow for an assessment, but was hoping some of you guys could weigh in too, especially with how much all this is likely to set me back :-)
Recent issues:
-replaced clutch at 120k
-replaced fuel pump at 110k
Current issues:
- noisy start (sort of wheezing, high-pitched, then it's fine. Usually worst when starting cold.)
- A/C not working, got it recharged last year so may be a leaky hose
- passenger window inop, it fell into the door well...I got it back up (!) but can't use it as is.
- Alignment is kinda funny-- I believe the tie rod bolts are frozen so may need to be replaced
Future issues:
-upcoming major service-- any ideas on $$ with this?
- others? What usually needs replaced at 150k+?
Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance for any thoughts!
Jessie
