Timing and Mileage when Changing fluids and major maintenance

Hi,

I am probably picking up this car: http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rd...628609670.html

And when I get it, I need to figure out when to change the fluids.

I know oil should be changed every 3000-5000kms (3-4 months)

What about transmission, power steering, timing belt, water pump, PCV Valve, etc?
