96000km Major Scheduled Service S70

I just bought a '99 S70 (auto, non-turbo) which is almost ready for the 96000km scheduled service. Has anyone had this one done yet? I have heard this referred to as the first 'major service' interval.

I'm just wondering what should I expect to have done and approximately what this should cost. The records I received with the car show the service was kept up to date by the last owner.

    96000km Major Scheduled Service S70

    A 60K Mile service is about $600 here in San Francisco Bay Area.
    Probably less in other regions.

    The 30K Mile and 60K mile (96Km is the 60K Mile, I assume) are
    major services. The owners manual lists the service items. But
    some dealers do more then the manual suggests based on their
    experiences.

    Some additional work people recommend is transmission flush and
    brake fluid flush. Also, brakes work might be needed in the next
    year since front pads last about 35K miles. Expect to also replace
    the brake rotors when the third set of pads go on (the rotors are
    noot that expensive, about $60 each). Motor mounts should be
    checked and not uncommon for the top one to need replacing. Your
    car is not that old and the fact that the last owner kept it serviced
    probably means youw won't have to do a lot of work outside the normally
    recommended maintenance.

    A very good site to bookmark is this one: http://volvospeed.com/bay13.htm
    It details all the common problems and fixes if you are a do it
    yourself type.

    (Sorry about using miles instead of kilometers.)
