How about essential maintenance? Have the timing belt and water pump ever been replaced? If not, the car is a ticking time bomb and if the belt breaks, it will cause serious internal engine damage ($$$).
As for the known issues, they're going to be a bit costly, especially if you don't do them yourself. My biggest concern would be the convertible top which sounds like it needs to be completely replaced to be functional again. That's the biggest "feature" of the car, so it's going to be a problem if you try to sell the car and it's clearly broken.
The CEL could be anything. You can get that scanned for free at most auto parts stores. If you post the codes here, you might be able to get some knowledgeable replies about possible causes.
A/C could be any number of things to a leak in the system to a bad compressor. No telling what that will cost to fix without getting it properly diagnosed.
