All Volvos require strict maintenance schedules. If you live in a testing state, you need to replace plugs every 25K miles or 3 years. You also need to keep the vacuum system very clean. If you can do your owm maintenance, Volvos are great luxury cars because of the cheap resale value. Sometimes, people luck out and find a very good mechanic that knows how to work on Volvos.
If you can't work on cars and your mechanic is just a general "foreign" car shop without Volvo specific training, you need to look at a different make of car. You already have a 245, a great wagon, so look for a Lexus or Accura sedan to replace the 855.
