'96 900 SET... a disaster???

I have a '96 900 SET with 128,000 miles. When I bought the car a year ago, it came with all of the maintanance receipts so I know all scheduled maintanance was done. However, since then, I have put thousands of dollars into it: transmission, clutch, mufflers, distributer, brakes, antanae, window switch, thermostat, shocks, and the list goes on (that's all I can come up with off the top of my head).
Recently my coolent light has been going on (about 6 months - probably a slow leak). So... I brought it in to have it looked at.... I am being told I need a new radiator (est cost of repair for radiator/hoses/labor about $650).
Has anyone else had this kind of trouble?? This car seems like a money sink to me. But I have put so much into it... what else can go wrong?
