All of those are common problems with VIII's. Dealer won't do anything with the first 2, the 3rd you still have 1 year left and 32K on the odometer. Definately try to knock the money off since you won't get the dealer to fix the recalls, well at least the first 2, but good luck with the third one 
dealers are a bunch of crooks!

You have 30 days to transfer the warranty into your name otherwise they will obviously do nothing. I think that if it was under warranty he would get it done himself. Get the vin and call the dealership that is going to do the work and you will find out the history too.

As long as you are firm with the dealer you'll get your way. They have to prove under the Magnuson-Moss Act that any modifications directly caused the failure not to warranty a vehicle so if you go in knowing your stuff and make them aware of it, you'll come out on top.
