Default New Volvo S70 Owner

I just picked up a new to me 1998 Volvo S70 "Red" Base Model. No major problems that I could find. Has 142k miles. Timing belt done at 97k. Newer tires, new brakes (rotors, etc...), new alternator.

Here is the list of things I could find wrong with it:
  • Rear Driver Door won't unlock
It will lock, but not unlock. I can hear the motor, but it never actually unlocks the door. The manual pull of the door lock works. I am thinking I need a new door lock actuator.
  • KeyFob
Only 1 key...no key fobs. I read that it requires the dealer to program a new key and/or fob. I am probably just going to have a car starter installed, so that should give me a new key fob.
  • Coin Holder Cover
Just need to order one.
  • FogLight Cover
The drivers side foglight blank cover is missing.
  • Lower Grill
It looks like half of it is missing.
  • Light Wipers
Need to order a set as these are shot!!
  • Passenger Door External Handle
The exterior door handle on the passenger side rubs against the part of the handle that is stationary. Is there an adjustment that I can perform to keep this from happening?
  • Power antenna will not go up or down. I can hear the motor trying to move it, but nothing happens. I can't really make it move manually either, so I am thinking that it is just the antenna. Should I replace that or the whole power antenna assembly?
