Fix problems before trading in for 300C or no?

Need your help folks...

I'm so freakin' close to pulling the trigger on a 300C. I want it so bad I can almost taste it.

Here's my dilemma:

My '99 Dodge Ram is in need of a few minor repairs. One of the fog lights is burned out. Rear backup lights aren't working. My dashboard blinker indicator started blinking super fast yesterday which I think means one of my headlights is about to go out. The only "big" repair is I have a running windshield crack (not in line of site though).

I don't know how much its going to cost to fix these 'minor' repairs yet. But I don't know how much it will effect trade-in value. If I spend $500 (hypothetical) to fix everything, will I get my money back on my trade-in value? Is it worth it to fix these in yalls opinion? How much is my trade-in value going to suffer for not fixing compared to how much it'll be helped by fixing it?!?!

Blue book value for dealer trade-in: Fair $3,990. Good $4,990.

Ugh. PLEASE HELP.
