Give it life. If you like the car, it would be a great car to maintain.
At 155k km it is a youngster brick.
Most of the repairs are usual and expected except for the rear axle. Is it leaking and needs new seals or is it really broken?
Front suspension may only be a few bushings. Check which are bad, usually is only the outer control rod to support arm and rear control rod to chassis needs replacing. You shouldn't nees a tranny or engine for years and many more miles.
Enjoy it.
