Crayon smell tend to be from cloth interior cars - not leather.
Is this car a cloth car ?
Typical things to check for,
Engine mount - under battery & right of engine. $150 diy
anti roll bar links - cheap
throttle body - actuates limp home mode - $200 repair - lot cheaper than replacement
Engine sludge - depends on oil change interval - at least remove cam cover - $35 new gasket. Not perfect detection but reasonable.
Tranny fluid check - burnt or clean. If dirty do multiple drain & fill not power flush.
Various oil & water leaks - none difficult to fix assuming the car didn't overheat.
Couple of other things but a well maintained 2K with 97K has many years left in it. My 99 9-5 has 164K & runs like a dream even though I thrash it with a large stick ( Fawlty towers T.V. show) on a regular basis.
Good luck & welcome to the 9-5 network
