I think the 900 s (in USA)is only available with a 2.3l engine. The 2.3 has a chain not a belt supposedly the chains last the life of the car. A new timing chain with such low mileage sounds unusual. The whine may be due to the "idler pulley" or something like that Someone else can hopefully shed more light on the topic,. However, I dont think thats more than a few hundred to fix. The muffler and brakes may need to be replaced soon. I replaced my muffler on my 96 about 2 years ago. Id be surprised if you still have original. the brakes depend on the type of driving done. I have 177K miles on original, the majority of my driving is highway. Antanna mast is not that big of a deal either do a search for replacement costs.
Good luck.
