Hi Melanie,
The item that stands out to me is the AC, which could be an expensive problem.
The oil leak is probably from the o-ring for the filter blank, which is right next to the crank position sensor and a very common leakage point on the V6. I'd have them replace the o-ring whether they think it's leaking or not (I'll bet it is).
It's a big list, and I'd insist on everything being fixed to your satisfaction before buying. That said, if they do fix it all it could be a nice car for you, as the mileage is low for an '01.
Good luck!
--Rick '99 SE
p.s. Check the sunroof wind deflector side clips to ensure they're intact--another common failure point. And inspect pixels on the information display to ensure they're all there.
