Unhappy What to do with 850 needing expensive repairs

Hey All, Sorry I know this isn't the correct forum

Yes I am new but I am looking to see if an enthusiast here would be willing to take a 1995 850 Turbo Automatic sedan my parents have? I live in Germany and can't take it for them as I wish it to not be taken to a junkyard. I bought it in January 2022 with 167,880mi as an in between car when I gave up my work car before I left for Germany. My little brother has been driving it seldomly to work and back since then. Sadly its gotten too expensive to repair for them. The most recent mechanic visit said it needs a heater core, a turbo, and supposedly a steering rack with power steering hoses? I don't believe it, but they were quoted a $5,000+ repair bill. I know this isn't the classifieds section but I am trying to help my folks out. They were quoted $375 for a scrapper to come take it... Let me know guys. It now has 191,000mi.

When I had it, in 2022 I replaced the PCV system, it has a new coolant overflow bottle, new cat and O2 sensor, new hvac fan, but it has a weird issue where it stays on despite the hvac controls being set to off.

The power antenna works!
