Depending on the local traffic, the clutch is usually good for 200K. Check the play in the pedal, if it is almost up to the top it will need a clutch soon. Around here a new clutch is $1200-1400 and you might as well put in a new RMS.

When you drive it home, the PCV is next to the throttle body. Open it up and throw away the plastic screen, current Volvo procedure.

That will be a good car for your wife's garden and long trips. BUT, it needs 87octane gasoline to keep the valves clean and to get good mileage.
