Just Bought 98 V70- Where to start with Prev. Maint.? V70-XC70

Hello,

After teetering on the brink of exiting volodom, we found and fell in love with a gorgeous V70 AWD. It comes from a Euro car dealer in Toronto and I bought a 2 year powertrain warranty and added the seals option. Should have bought some more options, but it kept adding up.
At any rate where should I start with the maint. program to keep her running A1. I just had the oil changed and will probably switch to synth. after the warranty (when I can do it). A tranny flush and filter is soon and so will the timing belt and a rust protection treatment will be next week. Service history is unclear as there are few stamps in the book.
There are no known problems, though the ride is less than stellar (pretty rough at low speeds over bumps- my Subaru with light truck tires rides smoother!) How is the ride intended to be?

Mike
