How should I fix my 2003 Pt Cruiser?

It only has 103,000 km. and needs wheel bearings, complete brakes, and new tires. Is it worth it? In what order should these things be done if I have to get them done in separate places? Do you know how much it might cost to repair? I rebuilt the transmission about 1.5 years ago. Advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Update:

The timing belt and water pump were replace about two years ago.

Update 2:

"replaced"

    Don't know if it's worth it to YOU to get it fixed or not. Your choice.

    First repair should be brakes, they are the only things that stop the car.

    Next should be the wheel bearings, they can cause further damage if left like they are.

    Lastly is tires, although you could have a blow-out and an accident, that could also happen with new tires.

    The cost. That depends on where you take the car and what that place charges you.

    Start with the wheel bearings then the brakes, tires. Also start thinking about the timing belt/water pump before 90,000 miles.

    +1 on the timing belt/water pump. Kind of overdue and possibly disasterous if it fails.

    The real question is, can you more afford a new monthly payment for five or six years? Or can you make the repairs a little more palletable?
