Sell her or save her??

I've got a '91 900 with 176,000 miles on it. According to a recent look-over by a mechanic, she needs 2 new front axels, a clutch, and there is an oil leak (not clear yet where it's coming from) - in addition to other on-going problems like leak in the AC, significant heat coming into the cabin on the drivers side from the engine in the summer, and the mechanics of the power windows seem to be going as driver's side window frequently needs to be pushed up by hand.
Dilemma: my husband is buying a newer Saab, '95, and we live in NYC, so keeping 2 cars n the road is overkill, and he is strongly advocating selling my car for obvious, logical reasons. However, body of my car has no rust at all, and is generally in good shape, currently runs fine, and... I still hold out on the dream of getting her re-built when we can swing it.
Your opinions: how much would parts/labor run for the 3 big problems, and should we try our damndest to find a friend with a house to store her at...or let her go? Someone is interested in buying her for "as low as we'll go" and I am thinking I will be kicking myself if I agree to that.
Thanks!!
