I have the same car, from new.

Be sure the few Volvo recalls have been done (light sockets, light harness, headlight wiper stops etc) and have the car checked for engine/transmission codes before final purchase.

Enjoy! I bought this car for my wife, and I find it a wonderful highway touring car whenever I drive it. Excellent fuel mileage for the weight and size of car.

Because our car is driven softly, it benefits from an "Italian Tuneup" after each oil change - 4500 rpm for 15 minutes on highway (3rd Gear) cycling the car from closed/full open throttle to about 6000rpm 3-5 times during that 15minutes. I usually do it when its cooler (night) and there is less traffic. Car idles like glass afterwards - throttle response/ sensitivity to small movements is better as well.
