Just bought a 2001 9-5 Wagon SE...

My wife and I just bought a used 9-5 SE Wagon. The car is an automatic, with about 65K miles on it. Since it is the SE model, it has the V6 engine, 3.0L with turbo. I used to own a couple of 9000CS's, and I was pretty familiar with the 4 cylinder engine, but not so much with the V6. Are there things I should look out for with this engine? I am going to do a tune up, new plugs, new air filter, new cabin air filter, new oil, and brake fluid flush (love those pressure bleeders!). At what point do the waterpumps and thermostats go on these engines? How about the timing belt change, I was told to change it at 105K, but that seems a bit long. I am assuming that the car was driving in "severe conditions", ie city driving.
I plan on keeping this car for a long time, and I am going to do some suspension work to it, like installing the Aero suspension package for the wagon.
Thanks for any help and direction!
Jesse C.
