How tight is your budget. The first thing most of us would investigate would be the IMS. Then while the transmission is removed the clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, and flywheel. With that said if you do the work that about $1800 in parts. Garage rates vary so your looking at between $2800 and $4000 at a shop.
Water Pump $200 to $300 self $600 + at a shop
Brakes $200 to $300 per axle by your self $350 to $500 at a shop
Wheel bearing $100 per Wheel & allot of patients by yourself $250 + at a shop per wheel.
And then tires between $500 and $1200 a set If your scrimping for the cheapest tires your buying the wrong car.
My suggestion is have a realistic budget and read the posts
If your worried about the cost of insurance, your buying the wrong car
