Misc. Fixes V70-XC70 2003

I'm considering the purchase of a 2003 V70 non-turbo with 150,000 miles on it. The car is in excellent condition except for a few issues. I wondered what the associated costs are in correcting these things as it would likely be a negotiating item at purchase.

1.) The current owner doesn't have info on when the timing belt was last replaced. I'm thinking it may need to be replaced as a precaution.

2.) The RH CV boot leaks lubricant.

3.) The digital clock freaks out. When you first start the car, the clock rapidly scrolls forward as though someone is holding the adjustment knob. The owner says it quits scrolling after you drive for a while.

Can someone give me ballpark estimates for these repairs or are they DIY type repairs for a fairly adept shade tree mechanic. Any special tools required? Thanks.
