Turbo shot- is it worth replacing?

My 2000 9-5 V6 wagon has about 144k miles on it and the turbo just went. I need to know if it is worth spending the money (mechanic is telling me $2500 for parts and labor) to get it replaced. I just had the mid muffler replaced a few weeks ago, and at about 120k my dad sprang for a bunch of preventive maintenance including replacing the water pump, belts, tensioners, and all kinds of stuff that usually would go bad in the next 40k or so. What else can break soon that I need to consider? How long should this car actually last?
