Over 3 years? That's all of about $125/month.

I've easily spent that much, too ... including tires, brakes, routine maintenance, cosmetics, etc. I'd say it's almost as good as a Camry except I know I'll jinx myself for a $$$$ repair if I say that, so I won't.

The '98-'99 SV70 T5 5-speed manual and the HP ("high pressure") turbo C70s with the 5-speed were the quickest Volvos available in the US until the current 300HP S60R and V70R 6-speeds. The "old style" '98-'00 V70R had more HP but it was AT only and that was coupled with the frictional losses from the AWD system. The 850Rs were AT only and were nicely equipped with a different front bumper/spoiler, Alcantara (synthetic suede) seats and 17" wheels.
