New tires
171 k miles
The brakes are simple mechanics and easy to work on.
The tranny may be just a vacuum issue. (or not)
Window adjustment again a simple thing- just a major PITA to get it just right. The regulators twist and bend over time, and may need replacment at the worst case.
Do the back windows go down all the way?
A new coat of paint will do wonders..... and new window rubber ($$$$$)

Only 171k miles? No leaks? No rust!!!! Straight Body?? 2K?

Now you'll tell us that the AC works too.
