check a car fax if possible, they also have some service records if the car was serviced somewhere.

change ALL fluids, trans, brake, oil and a good tune up .. maybe even a seafoam treatment

Check spark plugs, wires, fluids. Basic maintenance helps a lot. PICS PLEASE

Yeah you should replace the timing belt, go with the OEM one.

just do a basic tune up regardless. i would even go as far as brakes maybe some new tires just to have a fresh start ya know.
