I would suggest talking to family or friends and finding a local shop you trust to give you an estimate. I would live without the one window if your others are ok and the bad one is stuck in the up position. Window repairs can get pricey and you dont want to use junkyard parts as they are going to be old. The shocks - Sears is always reasonable on those. I would guess 150/175 for all 4 installed. The air suspension I really can't tell you as I don't know what is wrong. The strutmasters site lists them for 80 and the compressor for 145. Follow this link to another post on this forum which has links to several sites selling parts as well as coil springs to do away with the air bags completely. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...air+suspension
The headlamp switch - call Napa or the dealer for a price on the part. Easy to change. The seals on the tranny and diff - Shouldn't be too bad from a local garage. The headlights - Meguairs makes some plastics polishes that might help if they arent too far gone. If they are check out www.headlights.com. They sell replacement assemblies.
