What to do with my 99 SE V6

I have a 99 Saab 9-5 SE V6 with 182k. It's not in the greatest shape (needs a/c compressor, blower motor, SID, coolant overflow box has a small crack and leaks, worn suspension components,needs a timing belt in 8,000 miles and is about a C- cosmetically)
It's not my dream car, however I see its merits. I'm a total Saab guy, and would likely replace this with another Saab of some sort, but I'm short on cash (so an 09 9-3 sport combi aero or 97 9000aero will have to wait). The V6 (if maintained as mine has been) and old school 4 speed auto transmission will both last forever.
What would you experts do?
1. Sink about $1500 into repairs
2. Just fix the timing belt and keep driving
3. Wait til the turbo explodes and part it out
4. Sell it for whatever I can and move on
Thanks guys
