Opinions on 1997 S70 SE

Greetings from Australia

What would regular servicing cost for a 1997 s70 20 V version that is making its way to 110, 000 kays? Assuming that it has been looked after previously and currently has a clean bill of health? Obviously some services will be more costly than others due to replacing of timing belts, filters and the like, but what sort of ball park would I be looking at if I was to drive 20,000 a year?

Are these FWD jobbies going to be as reliable as the RWD? Are things like rotors and pads going to keep me poor? Is there much more to be considered in the servicing than the standard Aussie equiv? Do the autos need to be tickled with St Johns Wort or massaged with silk to disuade hunting / surging or otherwise being obnoxious?

Do 5 cylinder motors have any strange requirements (like the sacrificing of Black chickens) to keep them happy? As only ever owning vehicles with 4, 6 and 8 cylinders this is not something I claim to be conversant with.

Cheers
