Issues with my 98 S70 S70 1998

I'm looking for opinions from other S70 owners. I've been having issues with my car, that I'm believing are electrical. My antenna motor blew about 5 months ago, since then the outside temp gage says it's 140 degrees, part of the lights on my radio have gone out. I also have a problem with "sticky buttons" on all 4 doors and the dials and buttons for the temp. controls get scratched (and look awful). The car also creaks and moans like an old house. It has 55K on it and is getting approx. 22-24mpg.

I'm wondering if the electrical problems are probably going to get worse, are these problems that others have also?

I've been test driving cars, and am really tempted to trade in the beast for a Mazda3, but worry that I'm jumping the gun.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

TIA
M.E.
