It'll cost you at least $200 to get all of that professionally diagnosed if you don't commit to getting it repaired. A shop will usually take that off your bill if you get a lot of work done, but you're looking at well over $1k to get it running good.
Stop eating out, don't buy any new clothes, DVDs, music on iTunes, whatever... save up for a new car.
Don't drive very far and screw around for a while with the sales guy before they appraise your car if it drives best when it's cold. Chances are they won't even drive it, but you want to be sure it presents itself the best it can. Appearance is everything, so stop at Autozone on your way there and get codes cleared and make sure the inside and outside are spotless - that keeps them from looking too hard at anything else because it appears like you take good care of it.
