Especially by Chuck Andrews, the serpentine belt idler pulley bearings are problematic - mainly b/c they don't outlast the rated belt life (which, btw, is 60,000 miles), they don't give any noticeable warning, and when they go, the car comes in on a hook (or, if driven in, with a warped head and blown head gasket from overheating). Definitely change the belt and the idler pullies, even if you have to spring for the parts. Other than that, it's mostly the usual stuff. Make sure they flush the brake fluid. It wouldn't hurt to drain the power steering fluid and transmission fluid. (if it's an automatic, drain again at the next oil change, or do a complete flush through the cooling lines). New thermostat (it's a wear part, it's cheap, and the consequences if it fails "shut" are dire, although they usually fail "open".)
