Thinking of getting this Tl

Hi, everyone I am new and im looking at a 96 3.2 with around 110k. The cars engine is smooth, timing belt and water pump replaced not to long ago. There are a couple of problems. The car is real sluggish off the line(I dont think tune up was done), the transmission shifts hard, and theres like a creek as if the motor mount is no good. I tried to test the mounts by placing my right foot on the brake and revved up and the engine didnt jump. The worst of the problems is that the car is all over the road. The alignment is off and when i hit a bump or something the whole car wobbles. Not straight at all. Whats a rough estimate for ball joints, all 4 struts and inner outter tie rods? theres one big scrape, and another thing as if someone was trying to break into the car. The carfax is clean. The car comes with navi and pioneer speakers. The nav needs the cd to operate properly. Do you guys recommend this purchase or should I keep looking? price is 4500 Thanks everyone for your time .
