You might need; a coolant flush, new themostate, and a new water pump.

Pull you bumper and clean your radiators.

Lots of good DIY projects here that will help you sort out the problem. With 80k I would clean the rads, confirm fans are working, replace coolant, water pump, T-stat, and serpentine belt as a good periodic maintenance. Cleaning the rads every 20k is a good target for most cars.
