Since you don't know the age, I'd recommend you rinse the cooling system real good with distilled water, put in fresh antifreeze, replace thermostat & fanswitch.
Take the upper hose off the radiator & look for gunk. Look for gunk in the thermostat housing, too. Use some SuperFlush or something unless it looks clean. This might even be a good excuse to replace the upper radiator hose (2 parts) & the bypass hose (little elbow below the t-stat housing). I just got all that stuff from SobStory - good deal.
Your story sounds like the thermostat is opening too hot, but its not sticking. The fan switch doesn't cost enough money to argue about, & you need to change antifreeze every couple years anyway.
