Default Winter car mods

Well it was 14 degees+ today...nice PT weather......now that my PT is in 99% great shape - brakes and front tires in the spring after hibernation, and my Mitsubishi Endeavor is 100%....I've now decided to do some winter car maintenance. The car has 200000 Candian KM...mostly from the 1 owner prior to me. Its a great little Toyota Corolla that runs like a dream. I had a free oil change coupon at a local Toyota dealer and of course their service dept found some issues...They claim it has a leaky rad? The timing belt is due, the 2 oil seals and the 2 belts need changing. The left axle needs replacing the boot split and the axle is clicking.The exhaust is patched in 2 places and leaking some exhaust. Brakes may need to be done. My geat fair and reasonable trustworthy mechanice will phone me tomorrow with his opinions. I only paid 500$ for the car which is mint inside and pretty fair now on the outside with some amateur body work I did. No visible rust now. 2 new tires were put on the front last year. Also a new taillight and missing hubcap replaced. I even fixed the console lid. The interior was totally steamcleaned by me. I'm willing to put about 1000$ into it give or take....I want to have a well maintained solid safe trustworthy car to use for years to come.
