Don't get me wrong, I love the car. But in case you wanted to start saving now I thought I'd contribute some items. Hey this would cost you big bucks on the psychic lines to listen up. Knock Sensors $500.00 (it's more computer crap not a motor function) Lower Hydraulic engine mounts $500.00 ( didn't know they existed), 140K mile service incl. 2nd timing belt $519.95( That's a given I know, but all this came at once), check engine light is now on again 1 month later. I'll get back to you. The up side is, my little brother just bought a 1991 Chrysler LeBaron with 71,000 miles and I can tell you that the Volvo has aged nicely based on what the Chrysler looks like.
