You didnt pick it up off a guy on ebay did you is it a V8 Berlina?
Number 1 thing that is wrong with these cars is they that many sensors, It could be anything it might only be a faulty cluster temp sensor??.

I was just looking the other day at a Berlina V8 very nice going for sale in Vic very cheap.
Is the Fan kicking in at all when the temp goes up maybe thermostat?

Trust me good fast mods are everywhere here, Some mods don't cost a cent,
Have a little look in here and around Throttle body 100% open HOW-TO,
There is always someone with some cheap and pretty easy go fast tips.
Hope i helped in some way for you and it's all good, the last thing you need is to worry when you only just got the car, I have been there it's not fun. I'm only now starting to enjoy my car more.
