Newbie with some questions... S80

Hi,

Will be picking up my '01 S80 tomorrow from the dealer.

Car has 76K miles (yeah, but got a good deal), and has been dealer serviced and just got it's 75K service. Car is on the CPO program, and checked out on the inspection, they put in a new cabin air filter and new brake master cyl.

1) Volvo says 7.5k miles per service (oil & filter), I usually do 3, some say 5. This my first Volvo, so I am not sure.

2) Anything I need to look out for that may not be on the CPO 130 point inspection?

3) Major problems that people tent to have?

4) Tire recommendations?

5) Mods and upgrades that EVERYONE tends to do?

Thanks,

Steve

    I have the oil/filter changed locally between the 7.5K visits to the dealer. I have Michelin Pilot Sport tires. They get good reviews by S80 owners. Change timing belt at 105K miles. I get engine, power steering, and transmission flushes at a reputable independent every 30K mi. Volvo Service gets to the brakes every 30K. Some people have the spark plugs changed at shorter intervals than the dealer 30K interval.
