Engine noise and pads/rotors replacement at 35K miles!!!!!!!

I have a '98 900 that I purchased 2nd hand a year ago. I just found out that the front and rear pads and rotors need to be replaced. The front brakes are below minimum specs and the rear are warped. Isn't a little unusual that this would happen at 35K miles? I do mostly city driving but this still seems a bit unusual.
In addition to this, the engine makes a terrible sound when I accelerate. It sounds like a beat up 15-yr old car. After nearly a dozen trips to the dealer, they admitted that 98s have this problem. Told me to use 93 octane. That didn't do any good.
AND to top it all of they told me that the serpentine belt is showing cracks and I would have to replace that!!!
Can someone please advise?
TIA
