Well, then, you have answered your own question...

All of the stuff you listed as already replaced are pretty much normal
maintenance, as is the timing belt and water pump. Oil Pans and radiators
do go, over time, too.

With a reasonable shop, all of those repairs will likely be a little north
of a grand, but much cheaper than trying to replace the car.

Really, if it looks nice, and you decide to junk it, let people here know
first. I am sure there are plenty that will give you the $50-100 you'll
get from a scrapyard to take it off your hands...
