buying a 99 S70, or how many light bulbs does it take to change a Volvo S70

after a 18 year string of japanese cars I'm back to Volvos again this time I have a son starting to drive and my wife being a devoted "Cartalk" fan is taking the Tappet bros advice and insisting our spawn be in a Volvo instead of a hand-me-down 2000 Toyota minivan. I found a 99 S70 sedan from a private seller I am going to look at tomorrow, 87000 on the clock, but he wants less than $7000. He has it serviced at the local Volvo expert on a regular basis. he reports no problems so far than other than changing lightbulbs on a regular basis and a scraped up bumper cover. I know the S70 series has electrical issues, What other potential problems should I look out for? What is the timing belt service interval on the S70?

Thanks
Rick
