My new(to me) 9000 is a lemon!!!

got the car about 3 months ago. 93 9000cse turbo 155k
the problems occuring over this time
1. motor mounts(understandable)
2. bent wheel(had to find used one)
3. limp home problems with traction control throttle body..(Tech 2 had no leads)
4. crack in the gas tank at the bottom(havent hit anything)
5. steam coming out from side defost vents(core leak???)
6. timing/balancing chain noise got very bad on startups within the last month(local indy quoted me around $600 for chains, guides, and sprockets)
7. coolant leak from a water pump seal
my 89' c900T 18psi daily driver with 230,000 miles has original head gasket, turbo, trany, and timing chain. so i thought hell a 93' must have 4 years of improvements in quality and build, plus 75,000 miles less.
sorry for venting.....is it just me?
