Well no4 sounds like engine mounts as on shutting down there is possibly no rubber on one mount, like front one that gets hammered.

No1/2 could be hot start plugs or power to them.

Belts, well, two prices, Chrysler dealer will want £125+/hr for labour. Independents down to £75/hr. Its a four hour jobby. Five years ago Chrysler wanted £650. But got mine for £450 independent. 

If there's screw holes on dash anywhere its been an Airport Posh Taxi and probably been round the moon. But mine was one, 225k miles plus and after 5 years been the best car on 50 odd plus I've had.  

Get the Auto box serviced oil & inside filter.

Oh and how's the Handbrake, does it hold at all.

Good Luck...
