I'd also consider replacing the radiator cap. Cheap insurance.

How'd the coolant look? If it's been sitting there could be a fair amount of trash in the system, especially if the previous owner(s) didn't maintain it well.

So far so good.. been driving it around the phoenix area with no issues. I think it might actually be maintaining a cooler temp than when I first got it.
The coolent is clear of any debri and isn't murky by any means. Just needs a good tune up and some seals replaced now. |

standard cheap troubleshooting when dealing with temp issues is to replace the thermostat and the rad cap and burp the system. as stated above the fluctuating temp could be a result trapped air pockets.
In the summer time I always use a low temp fail safe thermostat. between 140 or 150 degrees. When and if it fails it just sticks in the opened position so no harm will be had to your engine. Costs a little more but were talking maybe 5 additional dollars. Yes I know (to low thermostat) can cause issues also, by not running at recommended temp. I disregard this information because I'm a loose cannon and a lightweight masochist.
