Currently in a state of disrepair
Estimated
cost to repair

Haven't had an estimate.
Power steering is intermittently irregular.
Haven't had an estimate.
Starter is beginning to show signs of needing replacement.
$1100
Warning system malfunctioning, with "Check System" warning light & chime coming on, for no apparent reason.  ($500 is my own estimate, although it's not a question of price since the problem seems unfixable).
$500
Air conditioner is no longer cool.  I'm told a new compressor is needed.
$2500
Slow coolant leak, which sends fumes into the passenger compartment.
$2500
Driver's seat heating pad burnt out.
$500
Intermittent drive train noise, yet again.  ($500 is my own estimate).
$500
Shimmy in steering has never been fixed, despite having the tires balanced twice and inspected twice.  ($500 is my own estimate).
$500
Was told rear shocks are leaking, again.  I had them replaced once.
$1470
Total cost estimate to bring the car to a state of good repair:
$9570+
