Default a few quick questions for the volvo s80 enthusiasts

first of all i just got my 2001 Volvo S80

1. I have a broken left tail light where would be the cheapest place online to order a left tail light?
2. Is this year model one of the reliable ones?
3. I am about to break 70,000 in a month or two what kind of maintance you guys recommend?
4. What are the exact speaker specs on the car? i've had too many mixed answers i was told my rear deck was 6.5 but when i pulled the deck it looked like 8s
5. Are there any bodykits for the car if so where can i check them out?

Thanks in advance and sory i had soo many questions but i'm not used to volvos but hands down my favorite car owned ever.

1.) ebay
2.) decently reliable, goes to the shop monthly for me. I dont think the previous owner of my s80 t6 treated it well, luckily i had a warranty which took care of it all. Probably, the warranty company has put out 10k+ in repairs into my s80. over 3-4 years of ownership. I owned it starting with 45k miles, now it has 90k.
5.) havnt seen any body kits for this car.
