'95 900SE V6 repairs

I just purchased a 1995 900SE V6 convertible and took to an independent shop in Cleveland called "The Swedish Solution" for an inspection. From what I've heard they do very good work but are also expensive. They gave me a list a repairs that they would recommend and the costs. I just wanted to run these by everybody and see what you think...
(also I know the V6 can be problematic but I bought the car (with 114,000 miles) for only $2,500 so I couldn't refuse)
Timing belt with water pump and updated pulleys: $1,200
Serpentine belt & pulleys: $300
Leaky radiator: $570
Rear brakes: $610
One lower ball joint: $375
Do all of these repairs need to be done at a pricey Saab specialist or can I have some of them done by a competent non-Saab mechanic? Do these prices seem reasonable? Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated!
Ivan
