I just bought an 850 GLT, 1996, 77K miles, garage kept, no rust, very clean, mechanically nice, no leaks. Granny couldn't drive anymore, so it was put up for sale. $2600.

Timing belt was done in 2004, at 55K.

Any suggestions on items to replace and look at for preventative maintenance?

I was thinking of doing all the radiator hoses and the two heater hoses, and thermostat as PM.

I'll inspect the timing belt, but if its not cracked, should I replace it anyway?

I've had three Volvos, '84 245, '89 760 wagon, and my last was an '90 240DL (285K), I'd still be driving if someone hadn't run through a stop sign. Its fun to have one again.
