    might buy an 06' OR manual, new to X's

    I love mine. At 143K you'll need to plan some ongoing maintenance money. And the steering and suspension are well used up. Oh and plan on 18mpg

    $150 budget: for recovery boards/mats?

    I don't think you'll need them. So my recommendation would be whatever is cheapest.

    Sceptor can leaks when I pour

    You need "Viton" material gaskets. The deisel/water gaskets can't survive gasoline. But I believe (just from imagining how it works, that there might be some sort of floating seal disk missing from your cap design. It would stay down usually but pull up in vacuum.

    Scan tool for repairs and troubleshooting?

    No. But you should still buy one. Very useful for engine diagnostics and real time readouts. They're so cheap I keep one in each car. I believe only the GM tool will provide Airbag codes.
